Girl valedictorian Part III

People can never worry about girls too much, it seems. People worry that young girls don't eat enough (anorexia), eat too much (obesity), care about weight and appearances too much, do not play sports enough, watch TV too much, spend too much money on clothes, and show too much interest in English literature and social sciences, don not show enough interest in math and science.

Even valedictorians, but only the girl valedictorians, seems to suffer from too-low-ambition sydrome, and in need of immediate help.

Oh, the girls, the frail, always in need of help...

"The fact that female teacher/professor have a tendency to be show more ‘empathy” (as we all know women genetically have plenty of it) ..."

I find even the "empathy" argument a mute one. "Empathy" is usually overriden by inter-female bitchiness and general insecurity. There isn't much female empathy in the workplace (or anywhere else, for that) for the female subordinate.
