It would be useful to do interregional and international comparisons of education gaps (men vs women, gay men vs straight men) to see how big the differences are, and to see whether they correlate with differences in cultural constructions of masculinity. For example:
-- According to Albion's Seed, the masculine ideal in Borderer culture was more anti-intellectual than that of the other English settler cultures in North America. In areas with more Borderer influence, do we see larger education gaps? What about other stereotypically "honor culture" regions of the world?
-- On the other side of the coin, East Asian and Jewish cultures are stereotypically seen as valuing scholarly men more than most. Do we see smaller gaps in East Asia and/or Israel?
Yes x 1,000. Chef’s kiss!
