    And what happens to those girls when they get to college, unless they go 
to a "women's college"?
    If HS girls can't take being in Algebra II because of fear of looking bad 
in front of boys (or any other reason), is there any reason to believe they 
will find college math different?  (Particularly if they were "cocooned" in 
HS math!)  And if they are further "cocooned" in a women's college (many of 
which sell themselves with the similar argument that they offer female 
students a place to develop on their own without fear of looking bad in front 
of boys!), how will the college grad handle a workplace where she must 
compete with men?
