In many ways, we even have it better than men. We can study engineering or medicine and English or history. In the former, we are pioneering women, ready to break down the stereotypes of alleged difficulties in math and science. In the later case, we are students ready to provide a gendered perspective to male-dominated fields. Either way we are special.
Stereotypes work both ways.
We can get away with so much more than men. Professors and graduate student instructors are more likely to believe an excuse from a tearing woman than a bumbling guy who is too proud to cry. See ladies, there are some perks to being a woman. Further, when in the bar, we can get quick service, free drinks and a seat, usually with the same above-stated tactics. On a Saturday night we can dress however we see fit.
