To be fair, the headline is pretty clickbait-y. It's technically true that female students got more time, but so did the men. Clever little journalist (or more likely editor).

Oh ****, you're right about the title (that's just the title of the article), my bad, but stop being a nonce for gender baiting.

I didn't title the article, just posted it as it was written. But you're right, the author is a twat for wording it that way.

But if it was women getting more time than men, I'd be pissed. But that is not the case. And I am not gender baiting.

Which I mentioned in a slightly later post. My insult for that was retracted.

Bruh, first the gays and now the woms? Totally not baiting.

Yes, pointing out gender inequality is TOTALLY the same thing as gender baiting.
