I'm not proud of being bad at & bored by maths but I'm not ashamed of it either. It's not within my control & I'm good at other things.

I certainly wouldn't blame anyone else for it. I was never taught that I wouldn't be good at maths because I'm female. I was expected to be.

It astonished my father, who got me through the GCSE I'd need to go to uni, that I found it so hard to grasp what was so easy for him.

My daughter excels at maths & finds the humanities tedious. I try not to be astonished at this & am genuinely very proud.

I don't understand the need some ppl feel to disparage things they're not good at or aren't interested in.

Especially when it's maths or science. They are quite important! I blame postmodernism. For everything. OK, not everything. But for a lot.
