Either way, I'm all for tearing down silly misconceptions like "boys don't like smart girls".

I imagine it's a little of both.

I think it's great that stars like Danica McKellar and Mayim Bialik (Blossom) are helping girls understand math, and demonstrating that anyone can really do it. Girls are just as capable as boys of learning, and sometimes loving, math.
