These anecdotes are interesting as specific instances of discrimination applied to vex relative minorities, but I don’t find them tipically far on the inferential distance. Being a shy and obese know-it-all during the formative years I guess helped at closing the gap on any possible kind of discriminations (humorously speaking: if you think being a geek girl is hard, remember that geek boys paved the way ;)).
With this I hope that more females post their own experiences and more men compare those experiences with their own: my prediction is that any boy who has suffered mild-to-severe discrimination for any other reason wouldn’t find any of this particularly surprising.
I agree that these aren’t especially difficult examples. However, I think these were chosen to be easier to take than some material which will come along later.
