 [[Grade inflation]] is an observed phenomenon where a certain standard of work in education or training results in gradually higher results over time.  This can occur as a result of a user-pays education model in which students demand better results because they ''paid for them''.  This is a fallacy of course, as it is the tuition or training that is being paid for, not the grades or qualifications.
-Due to [[male variability]] grade inflation impacts men more than women.  Since grade inflation pushes the average towards the highest possible score exceptional students (more likely to be male) cannot raise the make average while lower scoring males will drag down the male average, making it appear that females are doing better than males.  The true achievements of the highest scoring males have been masked.[[Roy Baumeister]] details this in [[Is There Anything Good About Men?]]<ref>https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/Is-There-Anything-Good-About-Men.pdf</ref.
