This does not mean that as a woman, though, you are going to be more inclined to do better or worse depending upon whichever subject is being taught. Post secondary education has proven that this is most certainly not the case, as men and women who put the effort into learning the material are always the most successful, regardless of subject or gender. Success in academia rests solely on the abilities of the student to learn the material, which has shown that men are not more capable than women of doing so.

As a woman aimed to reach success, it is important that you do not settle of “good enough”.

Unfortunately, even in the 21st century women are forced into the position of having to prove their worth and abilities to a society that believes that they are incapable in comparison to their male counterparts. However, not only are you capable of proving such factious stories to be false, but you are also capable of proving that women and men would best alongside one another, not in comparison and competition with one another.
