[ExI] female heros?

[SR Ballard]

And despite outnumbering men in many institutions of post-secondary
education they continue to choose lower paying majors, careers, and
specialties.

For example, women are more likely to become nurses and men are more likely
to become doctors. When women become either nurses or doctors, they choose
lower paying specialties than men.

Anecdote (for it's super low worth) -- I loved math all through school, and
tutored college students while in middle and high school. Men would
basically never comment on it at all. Women would always come up with a
remark like, "Oh, math is so hard, I could never be good at that." I never,
ever heard this from men, even when they were objectively shit at math.
Same thing when I lifted weights competitively in High School. Men didn't
say anything, but women sure had a lot to say about it, usually negative.


I'm not sure how much is actually men keeping women down and women keeping
each other down, at least in my age group.
