I'm sorry - I misread the following quote as the OP offering suggestions to the teacher to turn it into a teaching moment. Upon a second reading I realize that your interpretation is correct, they didn't raise it to the teacher. I'll correct my prior note. I consulted with friends — female developers — and talked to my daughter about how to handle the situation in class. I suggested that she talk to you. I offered to talk to you. I offered to come talk to the class. I offered to send one of my male friends, perhaps a well-known local programmer, to go talk to the class.
