Second this. I'm from Turkey, we don't have gender separation in education, but your quotes hold. Also, being geeky at school is mostly a feminine thing, and not caring about school is way cooler. The result being girls usually do better in most circumstances.

I wonder if this has the effect of making males feel resentment toward females, and thus making the already great number of problems between males and females even greater.

Wrt Turkey we have many different cultures coexisting (even though we pretend otherwise) and teh answer depends on which one you pick. But for the more poor it has an indirect effect, where the general ignorance of common working class recent emigrant men provoke lots of tension in families, economical and not. But blanket statements in this regard wrt Turkey is like talking of Greece, Italy, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia as a single cultural entity.
