Today, away at college, I called my grandmother to hear how she was doing after her knee surgery. She ended up talking about Hooters and how I should work there because of my "rare body". When I mentioned I've been studying computer science, earning a 3.8 GPA, she replied, "But you're a girl." FML

Well, she certainly has an archaic way of thinking.

It pisses me off when people say that. Being old does NOT make it ok to say those reprehensible things with her outdated values and mindset.

I think Granny may be trying to pimp her grand daughter.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. As long as you're independent and happy, then that's all that matters.

OP, as a fellow female student of computer science, I salute you :)

How is the female body rare? Also, there are a lot of hot girls at hooters so again you wouldn't be rare. Do the world a favor and use your brain not your looks.

Take it with humor, at least if you ever get tired of working with computers, and want to change the whole path, you got options. Seems like you got brains and body, be cool with it

Computer scientists can work at hooters.

While I was studying for my PhD in Molecular Biology at a prestigious university my Grandmother told me that I should take the first opportunity to get pregnant so that I could qualify for welfare housing (this was in the UK). Some grandmas just don't get it.

Just the time where she grew up. It's nothing personal

She's shocked that woman can go to college and be intelligent??...don't tell her that you can vote too or her brain might explode

Don't be mad at her ? she was raised in another time...
