The intention of this book itself is good, and he hopes that the inconsistency of the development direction of mathematics between men and women can be coordinated. Can give full play to the ability of boys with good mathematical talent.
It can also fully motivate girls who are weak in mathematics. Let her not listen to the gobbledygook in math class, extract these contents and list those difficulties separately, so that she can adapt to the difficulty of the class.
However, in the process of discussion, netizens always think that the existence of male version and female version is a disrespect for women and a discrimination against women's IQ.
In all our recognized cognition, does the weakness of women in mathematics really exist? You must ask 10 people. I'm afraid 9 people will answer? It does exist? . So since there is such a weak situation, why can't we treat it differently?
For girls who can't keep up with the rhythm, use an auxiliary means to reduce the difficulty of mathematics. Let them understand what the teacher said in class, and answer all kinds of questions with others without being left behind by the teacher.
Of course, many netizens have found relevant evidence to prove that this set of books is sexist. Some netizens found out what the professor in this school said. When promoting this set of books, he used the idea that if a girl can understand advanced mathematics at the age of nine, then she should use the male version of the math book.
It doesn't sound like there is unequal treatment between men and women, but because it is true that the male version is relatively more difficult than the female version, it seems that there is not much problem in saying so.
