How has your gender restricted your educational / occupational choices?

As i go through it personally everyday.. i know what this is about..its like..everytime i talk about my choices, i am told by family that i don't have any... because i am a girl.. for them my education is just another plus point on my marriage cv..Occupational as i am told i don't need to do a job as now my father is providing me everything and then my husband will... but i have decided that i want to break free ... and i will..

Not only educational and occupational but also recreational choices since childhood. girls are given dolls to play when boys play with guns and cars

I am very offended when people refer to women as "girls." Not only is that an insult and carries forward the idea that women are not adults, thereby not capable of making independent decision but it also undermines all the efforts of feminists worldwide. We are women; we need to stand together and promote a better terminology for us. Also, stop using gender-biased language; it's time we shared some her-stories as well! --Win

It was like a week back. I was returning was from NFC. It was like 11 in the night. Three drunk guys came to my auto and they tried to pull me out of it.The auto wala took off at that very momewnt. I have never felt so scared. I don't like to feel scared. Why should i not go out at nights , why should i not wear what i like, why do i have lead my life according to others? I have the right to live and i will not give up my rights just beacuse some ppl in the street think just because they have little muscle more than me they will not. The funny part is male that forms half the population of the world violets female ie is the other half of the population.

it just struck me that as a young college going girl I told a friend about wanting to get into forest and animal conservation work .The discussion itself was dissuading. I did not persist. Some of of the reasons were that I am a non local, that may be I should have started when i was even younger & that i was girl
