A, I agree with her assessment on how women are excelling in taking standardized tests, and in the college classroom and in law school. The evidence is overwhelming. Check out my Mainstream Articles section to see how women are dominating college and higher education. This gap is only going to widen as college is becoming more female dominated. The debate has shifted from whether women are intellectually superior in the classroom to “what can be done about it in order to prevent males from falling further behind?” They are examining standardized tests to see if they have a female bias. So far the evidence points not to a bias but rather to the fact that women are intellectually more capable of achieving higher scores on tests because of their ability to focus and solve complex problems.
