Absolutely. Women have significantly more privilege in education than men do, especially when it comes to better access to higher education, and they have demonstrably better education outcomes as a result, and that’s not even counting preferential instruction in grade school.
This is actually a real statistic, mate. It’s happened relatively recently. The reasons for it are not yet entirely clear. Women are indeed outperforming men in the education system.

For example, women are significantly more likely to receive scholarships and grants than men in undergrad.
Partially as a result of this lack of access, men have dropped to almost 40% of undergrad students, while women make up nearly 60%. Women also receive more doctorates than men, and almost twice as many Master’s degrees as men.

Let me guess… white people are also the most discriminated against?

?? No? Where did I say that?
I didn’t even say that men are discriminated against, only that women are more privileged than men are in education specifically.

This is just the next step in the “inverse discrimination” mindset.
