Often society pushes women into certain fields (English, the fine arts, teaching, nursing and other "helping" subjects), while men are pushed into other fields such as science, math, and technology. More and more schools are pushing for women's greater involvement in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) because the number of women in these fields is extremely low despite the fact that there is plenty of interest. If you are interested in physics, go for it! If computers make you happy, dive in and learn all you can about technology. Don't let prescribed gender roles interfere with you desire to learn more about a particular subject. By all means, follow your favorite subject. If you like music, follow that. If you like math, follow that. Remember that not all education has to be formal (i.e. attained through an institution like a university).

At one point in US history, tightly pulled corsets were the norm and it was a social taboo for women to wear pants. We live in an era in which women have much more freedom of choice for their clothing and dress. Embrace that freedom! When deciding what to wear, you should take into account your body type as well as your personal taste.
