Lili stalked and courted by neurosexism in her daily life

Wherever I go, as cold as I must seem, I find myself as a party to conversations with other mothers in which the other Mum explains how her school student son is educationally incapable in some way by virtue of the fact that he's male. I swear I don't go looking for this stuff, it just keeps coming after me. It's as though the Secret Society of Mums Who Good-Naturedly Suffer Slightly FITH Sons is out to recruit me. Do fathers chat amongst themselves about how disabled their daughters are in the areas of logic and technology whenever they gather together? God, I hope not!
