Do I write like a girl?

Asked by phoenyx (7401points) February 24th, 2010

Today some of my co-workers were razzing me about my handwriting (I took it as a compliment). You can see an example of my handwriting here.

It got me thinking.

Why are women expected to have good penmanship, but men aren’t? Didn’t calligraphers, copiers, etc. used to be men?

Why do we judge people by their penmanship?

Why do we expect certain people (e.g. doctors) to have poor penmanship and that’s accepted?
