Huh. You've definitely made some interesting points here, and although I felt a vague sense of disagreement on some of them -- mostly the über-supergirl expectations -- although I understand that you've employed your usual excellent writing skills to exaggerate somewhat sarcastically to make a point, I don't know too many people who are that crazy about that many things.
On the other hand, you hit right on the head as far as my personal high school academic experience went. Hell, I went to public school (yeah, yeah, gasp) and I was somewhat embarrassed to only have taken 3 APs over two years.. it's a ridiculous system, but not only female-centric.
Also, I think that you shouldn't lock this post for females exclusively, however; it's genuinely interesting, and I'd be interested to see how male peers (or not) would respond.
