This view shows that, even when we control for the larger number of women in this sample, they are, for the most part, doing better than men education wise.

Hi Tim,
Something strikes me as strange with the way the categories appear in the stacking – you have an ordered set of categories (not finishing High School, graduate from HS, more than HS) together with N/A which could be tagged on to either end of the sequence, but in this visualisation the N/A is in the middle and also the HS which means that the stacked chart can not be interoreted as it should be.
Do you know how the software chose the ordering? I had a look at recreating the visualisation and it seems to be something you have no control over – so does it depend on the order they appear in the data set (a working hypothesis in that the orders match in this particular case)
Best wishes,
James Nicholson
