If I had been taught in primary school that Amelia Earhart died because men ignored dozens of distress calls from her, that would've been a lot more helpful to my life than growing up scared of the Bermuda Triangle. smh
It’ll be gay marriage next. Then interracial marriage. Then segregated schools. They’re already working on that. Then whites only public spaces. They’ve already re-segregated the federal work force by firing as many Black people as they could.
An abuser literally stealing the light from inside you and gleefully destroying it in a way that permanently cuts you off from who you used to be is a HECK of an allegory btw
A 14-year-old girl won a national math competition, solving a problem that stumped everyone else.
The second-place boy, who finished 45 minutes behind her, told a reporter that she was "probably just lucky" and that she "didn't seem that smart in person." The math community, predominantly male, chuckled at the "awkward genius" trope.
At the awards ceremony. the host a famous male mathematician, spent more time interviewing the boy about his "process" than acknowledging her victory. Her photo in the yearbook was captioned
"Math Club Member." His was captioned "Math Prodigy." She quit the math club within a year.
But go ahead, keep saying we need more girls in math.
