I took a gender quiz to find out if I've got any gender stereotype. Thanks god, I got a full mark! Coz the answers are too obvious... Anyway, it's fun to know some facts you might not know before.
1. Both women and men can be feminists if they believe in the equal political, economic and social rights of women.
2. According to College Entrance Examination Board, personal communication, in 1988, girls were only 12% of the students who took AP Computer Science.
3. Admiral Grace Murray Hopper Coined the the phrase "computer bug" in the 1950's when she opened a malfunctioning computer and found a dead moth that was causing the problem. She's also the inventor of the COBOL computer language.
4. Gender bias hurts everyone because it limits people's freedom to express themselves as individuals.
5. Sexism is discrimination which can victimize both females and males. Examples of sexism include the pressure on girls to be "beautiful" [ remember what the Nike ad of Mooroe says about? ] and the assumption that boys like guns.

Hey, do you have more facts about gender bias?
Not at this point, Jessica. But I'll keep you posted if I come across any.
