Children learn from their mother and tend to emulate her level of education and IQ. The West had an explosion in creativity and industry mainly because its females were able to read, write, and calculate. Because they were educated and at home, they were passing these basic abilities on to their sons at the earliest of ages. By the time these boys had finished high school and college, Nineteenth and Twentieth century Western men achieved levels of education never seen in history other than in elite circles. Our society's problem isn't one of educating females, it's that we're insisting women leave their home and emulate a man's lifestyle because they have an education. The female education is doing nothing to advance society as a whole.
