Will girls be in a more disadvantageous position in the college entrance exam, or gaokao, in the future?
Wen Rumin, chief editor of the official Chinese textbooks, has sparked a heated debate by answering in the affirmative to the above question. The reason: "schoolboys read widely while many schoolgirls only read romantic or inspirational books".
There is no proof, however, to show that schoolgirls read less or only a narrow range of subjects compared with schoolboys. Even if a particular reading taste creates "bookworms" that will find it more difficult to get high scores in gaokao, why do these "bookworms" have to be only girls?
