Today, in my first period shop class, a boy asked me out.

He, then, proceeded to look over my work for class and said that I was pretty good..."for a girl." I rolled my eyes and without a word continued o my work.

Why are boys so dumb? At least, my teacher has the common sense to say that I have done some of the best work he's ever seen. Not "best work for a girl," but best work. Period. I feel that this kind of work will warrant many comments like that and I wish it wasn't this way. However, I'm ready to prove everyone of what I am capable of.

	That's fair. I think boys are sort of taught to expect certain things to be easy for them - sports and mending things and such. They just don't even think that girls are better than them at those things, even when they are. There's exceptions, of course, but by and large, I see that happen in class all the time.

	My grandmother has warned me about these things, so it wasn't all that shocking but it's never been said to me. It caught me off guard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a bit confusing, isn't it? It's a bit like someone from the 1800s being teleported to you for a moment. Next thing they'll yell at us for wearing trousers, or sending mail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll say so. Ugh, and that would be terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent)
