When it comes to math, girls are still lagging in
the classroom. Many people deem that boys acquire better logical ability so
that they get better grades in math. The
stereotype of gender towards mathematical and science capabilities still
retains the negative presumption that males are superior to females. Whether a
female university student in math-related majors endorses this stereotype or
not, unquestionably influences her future educational and career development. Some
people deem that girls are born to be careful people who are good at focusing
on the details of everything, so they are not able to rationalize things like
boys do.
In fact, I believe that females’ math skills might
not be necessarily worse than that of males. Girls’ potential in math is likely
to be underestimated because even they themselves believe in the society’s stereotype
on boys’ superiority in the subject, which more or less causes them to give up improving
their math skills.
