Well, it's not exactly an unfounded stereotype. Probaby the two most important skills you need to excel in school are reading (textbooks ;_;) and writing (papers ;_;). It generally holds that the more you read, the better you write.

Not that I don't know where you're coming from. The "girls are good at English and boys are good at Math" stereotype drives me up the wall.

Technically speaking, though, girls are better in language skills and communication (English) and boys are better at the kind of abstract thinking and spatial relations involved in math. The reason girls tend to score higher in both overall is because the typical school environment (sit down, be quiet, pay attention - ever wonder why most universities have more girls than boys these days?) is easier on girls than on boys, who focus better in an active environment.

Of course it's a bell curve and there is variation, but the tendency is there.

I know that there is some truth to it. I was refering to it as a similar stereotype to the "smart people like to read" one. I was told all my life that I wouldn't be good at math (and I wasn't... probably because I believed I wasn't), and so I never seriously considered my dream to become a game developer. Finally, in college, I have started to overcome this.

I have seen people (especially children) treated strangely if they deviate from that stereotype. The worst was probably when I overheard a mother speculating that since her son was bad at math, that must mean he's gay. :|

...What? That's like... I really have no other words aside from 'retarded'.

And regardless of natural tendency, if you want to do something and put the effort in, you're gonna be better than a lazy genius who doesn't try.

If you wanna be a game developer, go right ahead! (The industry needs more girls anyway)
