The thinking behind the mythmaking always seems to be that if only women believe they can achieve great things (even if the belief is based on falsehood), they will achieve great things; they're only being held back by societal prejudice. But where is the societal prejudice? When I was in Grade 2 in 1972, my feminist teacher had us all drawing women in hardhats, driving firetrucks, and arresting criminals, and it seemed forced to me even then, obviously a propaganda ploy, because I already knew that nobody had ever indicated to me that I couldn't do those things if I wanted to, and if I had the necessary ability and drive. All I needed was my parents' basic encouragement, and their example of hard work and dedication.
