Based on gender comparisons and gender differences, a research project should be called "gender comparisons in mathematical ability," instead of "gender differences in mathematical ability." The reason for this preference is that the title "gender comparisons:"

a.

Implies that the researchers have eliminated all possible confounding variables.

b.

Implies that the researchers favour cultural feminism, rather than liberal feminism.

c.

Focuses on both differences and similarities.

d.

Focuses on essentialism rather than on social constructionism.
