Women Suck!
Studies have shown that girls do better in all girl's schools than they do in mixed schools.
Which makes this study particularly interesting.
It's hard to summarise more than it already is, but it shows that when women compete with men and women they don't improve their performance significantly, whereas men do. Women competing solely with Women _do_ improve their performance, it's just when competing in mixed circumstances that they don't seem to improve as much.
I'm not sure what's going on, but it definitely deserves researching in more details to see what's going on.

_Anyone_ can analyse a situation. I get so fed up with people saying that only Black people can understand, or only women, or only men. All it takes is observational skill and the ability to feel a tiny amount of empathy.
Admittedly I'm not sure about the second part in either of our cases.
