I cam eto know in a recent study that girls/women have equal skill levels when it comes to mathematical calculations. Traditionally it is believed that boys/men are better in this regard.
What do you think on this?
All females , please voice your opinions and tell us incidents that proves you are nowhere poor in math skills than male

I believe that girls have been intimidated by math for a long time because the expectation was that they were not as capable as boys in this area. I felt that way all through school until after I graduated and went on to college. My field is computer programming and software development so I had to work with math quite a bit in some of the courses I took. That's when I discovered that I was pretty darned good at math, especially if I understood what data I was trying to get and not just learning math concepts. I'm glad that girls are finally getting the recognition they deserve and I believe that this latest study will increase their interest in the math related fields and increase their scores even more in the future.
