Gender related case studies

Dana Lee Moon

Dana-Lee Moon, aged 18

I’m a young female and I have experienced prejudice growing up. I found that as soon as I got a female shape people started to make comments, about things like how I must be sleeping around, smoking and drinking.

People make assumptions when the truth is I’m the opposite of that!

I’m going to college to do engineering and people have honestly asked me why I didn’t fancy doing something like hairdressing.

People say I’ve done well but in a way that sounds like it’s a surprise to them.

Why is it so shocking?
