>I have rarely - if ever - heard girls talk about men's compentence in some general regard that In middle-school and high-school I have never heard talk about girls being less competent than boys. You couldn't. Girls did better at school. Girls were Lisa Simpson, and boys were Bart Simpson. If there was a stereotype, that's what it was. If you went to a remedial class at my school(s), it would have been 3/4 boys. The vast majority of suspensions were given to boys. Maybe the schools I went to were the exception, but no way could this be a singular experience. >Women don't do well in that environment. Boys often do and say things that are bewildering for anyone socialized as female to interact with. I feel you're making generalizations that don't reflect reality. >A welcoming and safe environment matters a lot more to women than it does to men. It matters to everyone. Who doesn't want a workplace that is welcoming and safe?
