For Girls, It’s Be Yourself, and Be Perfect, Too - New York Times

Esther and Colby are two of the amazing girls at Newton North High School here in this affluent suburb just outside Boston. “Amazing girls” translation: Girls by the dozen who are high achieving, ambitious and confident (if not immune to the usual adolescent insecurities and meltdowns). Girls who do everything: Varsity sports. Student government. Theater. Community service. Girls who have grown up learning they can do anything a boy can do, which is anything they want to do.

If there are dozens and dozens of "amazing" girls, all equally amazing in their amazingness... doesn't that mean that they are not, in fact, actually all that "amazing"?
