[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

We were told our English Lang GCSEs were often about sport or politics because boys often underperformed in that exam. I can’t even fathom the number of things wrong with this kind of thinking.

i don’t understand how this is “unconscious” they saw numbers of both males and females and only made adjustments for the males. that is pretty damn blatant and conscious to me.

i have been staring at this for like ten minutes looking at all the little details
like how her fingers curl just a tiny bit after she looks
and the way the light changes on her dress
and just ;aldkfnab;efka beautiful animation
And they animated her breathing, you see her stomach move. How often do you see that in animation?
I like how her necklace moves and the change of her shadow.
This is why I hate when people criticize Disney for making CGI films.
Can you get this much detail with hand drawn animation? No, you can’t.
So maybe it’s not as “traditional.” Who cares? It still looks beyond amazing.
