I must have missed the study that showed that. There were two main studies discussed in this thread, I believe: the OP (showing girls and boys in the US have no significant difference in math scores at all grade levels based on standardized tests) and one I linked to (showing that in countries with more gender equality, the difference between boys and girls math scores from PIMMS reaches parity). This was a long thread: perhaps you could link again to a study showing a significant gender difference in math scores? All I've seen is a bunch of anecdotes and lots of complaining about "political correctness," whatever that means.
