Another thing that one might not have considered is the perception of women and math. Of course your daughter might not want to protest against unfair mathematics teaching structures given that her struggle is societally used to represent that all women struggle at math. <relevant xkcd comic here>. I would also hesitate to protest unfair practices in situations where I was a minority because I know anything short of quietly excelling is a negative representation of my entire demographic.


this is an exceptionally bad take imo and seems extremely degrading towards women
