8-year-old girl's answer to sexist homework question shared by proud father.
When eight-year-old Yasmin was given a homework assignment from 1997, she answered from now, when Grey's Anatomy has been dominant for over a decade.
The worksheet bizarrely asked students to write the word for "hospital lady," and with a great answer to a weird question she scored a 10/10.
"Hospital lady."
Both of Yasmin's parents are surgeons, with her dad specializing in the liver and pancreas, according to his bio.
More power to your daughter! Go girl! Be anything you want to be xxx

People applauded the student's answer, but were pissed that she got this outdated assignment in the first place.
The copyright date at the bottom shows 1997! Good grief, they haven't updated their worksheets in 20 years? For shame! (❤️ her answers tho!)

Blimey - the wurksheet is from 1997!! Don't believe it!

Neither actually fits. Surgeons and nurses can be both male and female. The answer is outdated and sexist.

Now I get why 'nurse' is expected on that particular worksheet, but who the fuck thought the best cue for that answer was 'hospital lady'?

The quiz is on "ur" words, and it appears that the word "surgeon" has "ur" in it, so the School Lady didn't even have to add "or nurse" in the first place.
I assume that they're writing "or Surgeon" on other kids papers!

But seriously, "hospital lady"?
