If an employer just hired people with perfect SAT math scores, you'd expect a 2:1 distribution. If an employer just hired men, because they were twice as likely to have a high SAT math score, then the employer would be retarded because for both genders there is over a 99% chance that any given person will not have a high SAT math score.


Not a "high" but a better, and that's usually enough; and the gap seems to be increasing[0].
