However, attractive male students continued to enjoy a beauty advantage.

What a weird, non-neutral way they chose to word this.

How about using their lingo and say "male students don't seem to benefit from attractive privilege, so the attractive male students' grades were unchanged".

Reminds me of the feminist study in which the data boils down to "good looking men, bad looking men and bad looking women are all treated the same for hiring at jobs, but attractive women benefit from better treatment than men in general and less-attractive women".

The feminist researchers conclusion? "Women are teh victimz of mysoginy!"

No retards : pretty women benefit from better treatment over all men and ugly women.
