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.

I consider myself pretty understanding of most odd hangups (got a few of my own, even), but I never could understand "I can only be with someone dumber/poorer than myself." Huh??? I mean, if they're smarter, make more money, & still want to be with you, what is the problem?? *shrug*
