“Because of a profound, deep-seated doubt in their own competence, which begins in early childhood, girls become convinced that they must have protection if they are going to survive. This belief is bred into women by misguided social expectations (...)
Girls are trained very differently than boys. The training leads to their becoming adults who stay stuck in jobs beneath their capabilities.
It leads them to feel intimidated by the men they marry, and to defer to them in the hope of being protected.
It even leads (...) to the crippling of women's intellectual abilities.
Long praised by teachers for being diligent and dutiful in school, we who rely on dutifulness to get us by in the professional world son find ourselves being treated as if we were not quite grown up. (...) Not to be taken seriously. And (...) easily exploitable.
(...) The way girls are socialized continues to predetermine an agonizing conflict over the psychological independence that's necessary if women are ever to spring free and take their place in the sun.”
