I personally would fit the stereotype of "girls can't do math".
I'm really confused now. The only "stereotype" I've ever heard up until the past couple of days here on WP now twice, is that girls are usually better at math than boys, and that from a college algebra instructor almost twenty years ago.
According to him, that was his observation based on grades he'd seen during his career, and his explanation for it was that boys/men are more often very sloppy with their work, while girls/women tended to be much neater, resulting in fewer errors. Funny how I've never heard the opposite before.

As before when I first signed up here years ago, I'm finding that after a long hiatus, and after only a few days back on here, I'm spending way too much time here again already. So I'm requesting my account be locked, banned or whatever. It's just time. Until then, well, I dunno...
