I'm a lot younger than her but I know so many women that I went to school with who were pushed away from maths/physics, despite a very strong academic record in these areas. It's so limiting, these notions that women must do x, while men must do (the inherently higher valued y).

That being said I don't like how the author of the piece keeps talking about the gender binary. I don't see how you can unify the idea of a genderless brain with the current TRA nonsense.
