Because you're not a woman.
I know loads of people who got told they shouldn't do maths A-Level because they'd fail (16-18 year old exam) when in reality it's really easy. I could get anyone willing to put in some time and an average IQ to get an A. And I'm not the important part in that equation, anyone capable of teaching math could.
The reality is though they aren't getting told they can't do it not because they aren't capable, but because they lack the motivation to put the time in. The problem is pretending it's as simple as just doing a bit of work. Everything is basically that simple, but the reality is the hard part is being motivated.
