Wrong direction.
The stereotype (which I have never once heard spoken unironically within my 35 year lifetime) is that women are bad at math.
This flies in the face of most of my personal experience at school, where if you wanted to cheat on a math test, common sense was to copy off of a girl. Or for that matter, how managing household finances is traditionally the wife’s job in a great many cultures.
Is there really such a stereotype? I’ve heard it repeated more times on the pages of Gynostar than anywhere else in my entire life. Hmm…
Oh, yes, there is such a stereotype. I remember in college, a girl in a seat in front of mine asked the professor for help with a problem, and he patted her on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, nobody expects you to be good at math.” and walked off. I wasn’t sure which of us was more livid.
“That involves math.”
This one is so good.
Good job making fun/sense of the stereotype.
As a college student unsure of whether to major in a STEM or an artsy field, I appreciate this.
STEM first. Then art. There are few artists that can express themselves in technology. We need more.
is that an airbender pillow?
Talk about stereotyping.
You need to fix decorating you have it spelled “deocrating” in P3.
Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out.
Ooh, gay men aren’t into math? Someone tell Alan Turing…
