A teacher in an advanced math class frequently "puts down" girls in his class. One day, when Ruth did not understand a particular question, he said, "That’s why girls should not be in math!" Another time he stated, "Boys and intelligent girls will find the assignment easy." Only yesterday, after Judy got an answer wrong, he snapped, "Shouldn’t you be taking home economics instead?" -That’s more a gender related discrimination not really sexually related.
“Not much,” (25) she replies. This shows that the Little Seamstress is uncivilized because she cannot read much. She even says that she is only educated at an elementary level.

She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, "How is you friend Audrey doing?"
