When I discovered I magically had a B in College Algebra, I suspected the professor curved the grade without telling us.
Given that you are female, it’s likely that there are identity issues involved that make you worse at math than you would be otherwise. If you get a B take it as empiric evidence that your belief that you are inherently bad might be wrong.
While I agree that society tends to dissuade women from math, it doesn’t really work in my specific subset. I grew up with more female math-related role models than male. (Mom was chemistry major, dad majored in education partially because he sucked at math.) And the B is a massive outlier- it takes a lot of work for me to keep a C, usually. But thank you for the input.
