American schools and the "boy" problem

<p>

</p>

<p>If you went to a coed school, maybe you wouldn’t be so quick to stereotype girls that way. That you think so sort of tells me that you aren’t in close contact with enough girls to realize that many (including me) have no problem with, and often really enjoy, arguing about serious topics with guys (like this one!) You say “from your experience…” well, I think your experience has been limited by a single-sex school based on a few of your comments, that’s all. </p>

<p>It’s one thing to say “I feel more comfortable discussing integrals with guys than girls” and “I wouldn’t want to talk about ___ to a girl” and “I feel dorky in front of girls”. That’s a personal preference for each individual, and I know some people DO feel that way, and it’s okay. It’s something different to think that “girls are not interested in ____” That’s a judgement on girls that isn’t based on personal preference, and it’s rather a naive thing to say.</p>
