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.
