I found this article about how the "math is not for girls" prejudice is already present since second grade (in the US, the situation is different across countries): http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110314091642.htm
It cites a website called project implicit that has some interesting tests: https://implicit.harvard.edu The tests consists mainly in checking how the speed of sorting words into categories changes when two categories (like math and girls in the above example) are on the same side or on different sides. I had visited it last year and complained that it was all in English, and thus sometimes it was hard to sort correctly for a non-native. Now they have some localized tests in Spanish, although there are many more in the English site (I didn't check other languages). It's not that it will reveal something completely unexpected, but it might help uncover some hidden biases. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
