I didn't downvote, but I wanted to add this: Many years ago, I was staying with my then-girlfriend and her parents. Her mother, deciding to prove to me that I was sexist and prejudiced because I'm a male, started by talking about a TV show (Scrapheap Challenge) where teams built machinery out of pre-selected scrap. The show starred a male comedian as one presenter, and a female as the other. To underscore that I was sexist, she told me that one of the presenters was a qualified engineer - and took my surprise to mean that I assumed it was Robert Llewellyn, smugly announcing that it was the woman. What she mistook was my surprise that either of the presenters was a qualified engineer. I expected the engineers to be off-camera, advising the teams. Ultimately, I would have been far more surprised to learn that Robert Llewellyn, an accomplished comedian as well as a television actor, is an engineer than any given woman. It seems to me that those who present evidence of gender bias can be quite selective in the constructs used to demonstrate this bias.
