Society plays a role in that metric just like it does the CxO/prison metric. Fewer girls were encouraged to take the SAT compared to boys (only the top girls would really push for it), just like women were held back in the working world, and controlled more domestically (as well as treated with more lenience in the courts). It's really hard to factor out societal bias in gender studies.
