As the first mentioned previously, the attention span has been proven tobe longer than that of a female. This is why, in Detroit, over 80% of the workforce in the GM and Ford plants are males. Males have the ability to concentrate longer than women, and as such make better students.
Society has conditioned women to love gossip, it’s an unfortunate fact, but if there are people talking during a lecture, it will be the women. Further, figures like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian have provided negative role-models to women, many of whom believe it’s better to be vacuous than smart, and the road to recognition is to make a sex-tape with a small-time rapper (ie. Kim Kardashian).
Physiologically, women are less able than men to sit for extended periods in a classroom, as their bladders are smaller, and their urinary tract is somewhat more twisted than that of a man, making bathroom breaks more frequent, especially during periods of extended sitting when their position puts pressure on their bladder.
Further, some women are greatly affected by their periods, and often have to take time off their studies in order to deal with it. Men do not have this problem, as an erection tends to cure itself within minutes.
Further, if you look at a list of worlds highest IQs, you will note that it is in fact devoid of any females. This doesn’t mean that females are stupid, it simply means that women are conditioned to excel at different things to men.
As you can clearly see, Men have since the dawn of time been conditioned to be more successful than women, and as such make better students.
The physiology of a female precludes her from ever being able to pay attention to a lecture for too long, this inhibits her ability to take-in as much information as a male, also the male ability to concentrate for longer periods is well proven.
Therefore, in conclusion,I think men will continue to be better students than women unless they start taking lots of adderill and wearing nappies.
