"It’s like if I were told as a girl that math would be too hard or was for boys only ... "
I DID get told that -- from the opposite side of the spectrum. Now it's the supposed feminists and progressives telling girls and women that. Horseshoe theory indeed.
I think that, like with the right-wing, it's mostly the wealthy who run the left wing now. And no matter what side of the fence they're on, they benefit from keeping things exactly as they are. The right wing says that if you're a girl, you can't do math. The left wing now says that if you can do math, you aren't a girl(!). The old-school racists say that Black people can't do science, and now the new wokeists say that Black students shouldn't be expected to master it.
In the end, what they win is that science and technology will stay white and male.
