I have to wonder, though. Just priming the idea that girls are bad at math can result in worse math scores for girls, in a research setting, at least. The idea that women can't fast, will have more trouble dieting--whether there are some underlying mechanisms that would make this true or not, there's also the problem of whether just thinking you're more likely to have trouble will make you more likely to have trouble. Reality is reality, but sometimes there can be an advantage to overestimating the probability of success.
