Casual misogyny is ingrained in our society
What are you doing? Why did you not get better grades than the first girl in your class? If she can do this despite being a girl, why can you not do so being a boy? - these are the exact lines I often used to hear from my mother when I was little.
Being a curious little boy, I asked my mother why she could not be first in class just because she was a girl. Why was she any different?
But she used to ignore those questions.
At first glance, this story might sound trivial, just a mother scolding
