"good at something traditionally male-dominated"
Yeah but that's different, I was replying to someone saying that the general opinion was that girls are not good at anything at all. That is simply not true, almost nobody believes that.

- ambivalents 9y agoI interpreted Mz's comment as a somewhat facetious internal monologue I myself am all too familiar with. I agree with you, most people don't believe that, but it is nonetheless a belief that some women internalize after years of the socialization I described above. Yes it's not true that we're not good at anything, but there are subtle and pervasive forces at work in groups that cause women to believe this about themselves.
