The fact that gender is mentioned in the headline and discussed there and here points to a different standard for males and females I think. If it was just a passing reference, no problem, but the fact ITS A GIRL is somehow amazing. That's sad.



I totally agree. I think the fact that her gender was brought up so much demeans her accomplishment and insults her a bit. Sadly, we as a culture are still figuring this all out.
