Despite that your facts are wrong and you are totally biased this does not add up. Take a look at statistics from collegeboard. In reading, males are better than females, and same goes for math but it is opposite when looking on writing. Females are slightly better than men on the writing section.

What we could pick up from this is that the gender does matter to a slight extent. And the difference in results can be from factors such as upbringing and genetics. This does not explain why male tend to pick the science track. It could maybe be explained by some complex theories but not just taking what you have said. If you read a sociology class you would problably have come around the fact that females emphasize more on their articulation and read more books: fiction, and therefore tend to have a wider and bigger vocabulary.

And what helps one in the end has no answer that fits every scenario. Each and every individual will be helped by either “math” or “literature” by the choices he or she makes. Why not have both?

I am myself a mathematician and my reading comprehension is not as good as I would want it to be. Problably because I do not read as much as others and have primarily focused on other mediums (of communication). I am seriously considering taking a year off, just reading and reading; penentrating barriers of vocabulary and gaining strong, and almost flawless reading comprehension, because I do believe it is very important.
