As I'm rediscovering: because so many women are. It never occurs to me that I should think about how lucky I am that all my teachers encouraged me every step of the way instead of telling me that I couldn't do math or science because I'm a girl. This is *still happening* and it's ridiculous.
On the other hand, I also think it's problematic to take a victim's mentality. I have yet to be a victim of sexism personally, and I'm glad of that, as well. I've always been hired as a capable individual and never been passed over because of my gender. This is *awesome*. I wish it were standard.
