In a recent study, it was revealed that girls and boys are equally good at math.
Great.
Next they'll be wearing pants and running for president.
Woah, put down the scimitars! Joking!
Seriously, as a former teacher and father with a 12-year-old daughter, I am well aware of the social structures in place that cause girls to dumb themselves down, to not raise their hand, to giggle "Um..." when they know the answer. In 1994 Teen Talk Barbie's words: "Math is hard!"
This is great news from both a social and psychological perspective, a good example that dominance is not just the domain juiced muscles or misplaced male aggression.
But it may yet require pants.
Stop! It's bleeding!
