"Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"

The Patriarchy (tm) is to blame.

In Sweden people attend universities based on their grades from secondary school. Not surprisingly women have a higher university and generally much higher grades than men. There is just one thing peculiar. Sweden also has an anonymous national test for all universities that is done twice per year for those who desire. Universities have to take a certain percentage of their students from the pool of the national test takers. Now in these national tests, men have significantly higher scores than women every year.

The conclusion in feminist Sweden is of course that something is wrong with the test and the University Authority is working hard to correct this, although they admit that they have no idea why men perform better even though they have been trying to "balance" the test every year so men and women can score equally.

60%-70% of those admitted to universities are women.

The evidence that all the old stereotypes of the feeble-minded female are more or less true (statistically) are actually fairly available in scientific literature. Of course, most academics are leftist and often try to spin it as being the fault of a vast male conspiracy. Not Richard Lynn though.

Social psychologist, here - I've done some research in communication/psycholinguistics, most of it gendered.

"The results are interpreted as showing that sex diferences in general knowledge cannot be explained as a function of diferences in either Gf or experience. It is proposed further that general knowledge should be regarded as a new second-order factor and designated as semantic memory."

TL;DR Men aren't more intelligent, nor are they more experienced in life. So what is happening?

We do know that communicate with each other with a huge amount of facts (e.g., quantities, quantifiers) and "judgmental adjectives" (e.g., sucks, great, awesome, etc.). They talk about stuff. Women do not do this anywhere near as much. I can't recall if male-female dyads result in a lot of male facts/JAs but it wouldn't surprise me. Simply put, facts and knowledge are very much a part of how men interact with the world and with each other, with specific social information taking a back seat.

Additional fun fact: men talking to men use more metaphor and abstract language - men care more about one-upping each other linguistically than they do about impressing women with fancy language. Though admittedly the studies about that never contrasted attractive vs unattractive female interlocutors.

Tom Leykis will sometimes ask female callers for significant details about front page news stories. The results are funny as hell. What is worse they know the questions before they call cause he uses the same ones again and again.

Perhaps because they don't need to be? Any attractive girl can get into college, graduate with a 3.0 in something useless, get an internship or entry-level job based on looks, and then snag some beta bucks.

If the goal is making a lot of money, men need to be somewhat intelligent to do that. Women just need to be physically attractive. It doesn't surprise me they spend more time at a tanning salon than in the library.

Hey that's not fair. Most females could tell you plenty of stuff about makeup, MTV shows, and....makeup

Some people will never learn that equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcome.

Another thing, because men are scoring significantly higher than women on average, something must be wrong with the test? How do you even arrive at that conclusion?

For 15 years watch nothing besides soap operas, romance movies and celebrity news. Never watch the news, news read a book of any substance.

Then we will measure your general knowledge. I wonder how you will do.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? Knowlege is something that actually takes hard work and achievement, not something that a man will buy for you because you look pretty and bat your eyelids. Theres a reason the difficult STEM fields are male dominated, while females stick with the marxist bullshit.
