Our thanks to Jeff for this. The headline refers to this as a “new dogma”. Ha! When it comes to the sexes, meritocracy bit the dust decades ago. The replacement of O levels by GCSEs in the 1987/8 academic year is an example. The education gender gap started that year, and has been with us ever since. There’s a very good account of this – and so much more – in William Collins’s epic The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect. The ebook edition (Kindle and others) is a steal. You can buy the Kindle edition here for just £4.32 (the paperback edition costs £25.00 from Amazon). You don’t need an e-reader to read the book, you can read it on computers and devices with free-to-download Kindle reading software, which works excellently.
