She would say, don’t talk crazy. Has that English air sent you mad?
He would say, my feet are cold on the glossy floorboards. The bed makes me feel as if I’m drowning. I am a speck in this shiny house. And it hates me for being ungrateful.
He jolted as he realised he was about to hit the floor. The slippery sofa was rejecting him, sliding him off.
[…] He jabbed at the remote control to wake the television, and winced at the fierce colours of Match of the Day.
Vague ideas of changing the channel lolled around his brain. But when a scarlet number 17 shirt flooded
the picture, his eyes locked on. Recoba was written beneath the number.

And I’m not alone: so many women I talk to tell me that they gravitate towards careers and professions that they know they’re going to be great in, that they know they’re going to be perfect in, and it’s no wonder why. Most girls are taught to avoid risk and failure. We’re taught to smile pretty, play it safe, get all A’s. Boys, on the other hand, are taught to play rough, swing high, crawl to the top of the monkey bars and
then just jump off headfirst. And by the time they’re adults, whether they’re negotiating a raise or even asking someone out on a date, they’re habituated to take risk after risk. They’re rewarded for it. It’s often said in Silicon Valley, no one even takes you seriously unless you’ve had two failed start-ups. In other words, we’re raising our girls to be perfect, and we’re raising our boys to be brave.
Some people worry about our federal deficit, but I, I worry about our bravery deficit. Our economy, our society, we’re just losing out because we’re not raising our girls to be brave. The bravery deficit is why women are underrepresented in STEM, in C-suites, in boardrooms, in Congress, and pretty much everywhere you look.
