There have been quite a few girls/women on here comment that they really feel they have been held back by their gender. Now, I can certainly see how in many, MANY situations, being female makes things a little more difficult for me, but I honestly can not come up with a single instance where I was actually denied an opportunity because of being female (aside from certain religious ceremonies or rituals I was denied entrance to while travelling, but that's a pretty isolated and obscure situation). I'm really curious to know how you were actually held back from a specific goal?
