Where Boys Outperform Girls in Math: Rich, White and Suburban Districts

But in math, there is nearly no gender gap, on average. Girls perform slightly better than boys in about a quarter of districts – particularly those that are predominantly African-American and low-income. Boys do slightly better in the rest – and much better in high-income and mostly white or Asian-American districts.

And in three-quarters of the districts, boys and girls either perform equally OR boys do better than girls.

Aqua Buddha knows we can't have boys doing better than girls at anything.

In the Montgomery Township district in New Jersey, for example, the median household income is $180,000 and the students are about 60 percent white and 30 percent Asian-American. Boys and girls both perform well, but boys score almost half a grade level ahead of girls in math. Compare that with Detroit, where the median household earns $27,000 and students are about 85 percent black. It’s one of the districts in which girls outperform boys in math.

In the places you want to live, boys do better. In the places you don't want to live, girls do better.

Could it be that the well-being of boys and men is a indicator of the health of a society or a civilization?

Nah. Let's beat them down some more until the girls win.

The gender achievement gap in math reflects a paradox of high-earning parents. They are more likely to say they hold egalitarian views about gender roles. But they are also more likely to act in traditional ways – father as breadwinner, mother as caregiver.

It's almost as if the traditional family is a more stable child-rearing environment than the 'strong, independent single mother who don't need no man' model promoted by feminists.

When boys think of academic achievement as desirable and tied to their future success, they do better. Boys who have fathers who are involved in their lives, and who are highly educated with white-collar jobs, are more likely to receive this message, according to research by Mr. DiPrete and Claudia Buchmann, a sociologist at Ohio State.

All together now on three: 1. 2. 3. FATHERS MATTER.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, in districts that are mostly black, less affluent and in the South, girls do better than boys in math. Recent research has found that black boys in particular struggle in the face of poverty and racism. Black and Latino boys and those in poor neighborhoods often get the message that doing well in school is not manly, a variety of research has found.

And where are the fathers in these black, less affluent, and Southern districts? Absent or low-quality? And who sexually selected for these absent, low-quality men? The women. In the absence of a man, who is likely transmitting the message to boys that doing well in school is not manly? The women. Why? Because women, in the absence of men, raise children according to their own preferences. Therefore, if mommy likes thug dick, what do you think she will raise her son to be? A thug dick.

There you go, I cracked the code for you.

Great comment about this on Twitter by Christina Hoff Sommers (Based Mom):

This New York Times article documents a large reading gap favoring girls and a small math gap that sometimes favors boys. Guess which gap is presented as a big problem?

Oh dang even more evidence of feminism's fixation with bourgeois non-issues over actual harms from which the people most likely to suffer are, well, those groups that tend to be most vulnerable in general.
