Maths is a Top 10 Tool of Oppression of the Patriarchy.

This doesn't say much, what do the numbers at the bottom represent? total percentage?

While the gap between men and women is greatest in Japan, Japanese women do better than any man in the World. It is conundrums like this that highlights how statistics can be used selectively.

Imagine if I used the data to conclude that men are intrinsically better at some tasks than women, what works be the reaction? "Traditional gender roles hold back women" . And literacy?

I'm not sure how this is relevant to the sub? Are we supposed to feel superior? Boys rule, girls drool! Sorry, that's not why I am here. I mean I could be missing the relevance, so feel free to clue me in.

Because.. patriarchy, right?

I'm not sure whether this was posted in order to "prove the patriarchy", but if so, check the graph linked as recommended. It's for national, gendered reading abilities. Girls greatly outstrip boys - pretty much to the same degree as boys out strip girls when it comes to maths. Why don't feminists, who aim at gender equality, bash on about some matriarchal tendency to push boys out of this subject etc.

Seems like a ridiculous selection of facts in order to perpetuate a dead narrative.
