Scientists have demonstrated over and over that the earth is round, yet flat-earthers still deny it.

Researchers can keep demonstrating that girls and boys have comparable math and science abilities, but the misogynists will still deny it.

Evidence does not refute bias.
We can churn out study after study that women are men's equals in every way, and the misogynists will shrug their shoulders and say "I know what I know."

Let's not waste our time trying to convince the crazy people. Instead, we could be implementing this data into classrooms.
In classrooms, we can use this data to encourage girls. To level the playing field. To remind teachers to treat students fairly. To help girls like me who were discouraged, support their arguments with evidence.

But the misogynists? Please. They're hopeless. Do it for the kids.
