    I have hit the Maternal Wall countless times, starting with the day I told the partner I work for I was pregnant. "Well, we hire young women - what do we think will happen?" #genderbiasbingo

    @Maritsa: I hit the Maternal wall before I was even pregnant. Got to love small town living. 11 men with less experience and who attended less reputable schools have been hired over me since I started looking for a better job in my field in my town 2 years ago. 11! #genderbiasbingo

    My Introduction to Diversity professor is not well liked because she is a little cold, doesn't coddle student's, and can be very direct. Most of the student's are startled by a woman who is this way assuming that as our professor and by virtue of her being a woman she should be "nurturing." I absolutely adore my professor because I know that if she we're a male none of the student's would bat an eye lash. They'd just chalk it up to a male teacher being a male teacher. But because it's a woman everyone says shes sooooo mean and sooooo tough. In reality she's just AWESOME! Also she was a Black Panther! #genderbiasbingo

    Knowing that this was submitted by a law professor makes me feel like there's got to be a way to incorporate gender bias bingo and gunner bingo.

    Top row: Guy who has a personal story relevant to every case; At my Ivy League undergrad ... guy; Every crime is a hate crime! guy. Middle row: Challenges everything the female professor says guy; Everyone but me is unaware of the biological differences between the sexes guy (open space); Starts talking while a female classmate is speaking guy. Bottom row: There's no male bias in caselaw, it's an historical bias, which is okay guy; I'm-not-a-sexist-I'm-a-strict-constructi... guy; There's no such thing as Battered Women's Syndrome guy.

    Did I miss anybody? Sorry to all the non-law Jezzies, this will make little sense. #genderbiasbingo

    @yvanehtnioj: Ooh Ooh. Front row, far right: the guy who's dad was an in-house attorney for GM and therefore he knows how the law works "in the real world". And thus every comment must begin with, "In the real world...".

    And then there's the guy in the back row, who spent the whole class arguing that "date rape" sexual assault, should always be mitigated into a lesser crime (not a felony!! he argued) because it's not real rape.

    Oh yeah, and our female professor is a ball-buster. Our male professors are straight-talkers. #genderbiasbingo

    @curiousgeorgiana: My Crim Pro class did an entire unit on comparing rape law in different states and countries. I had to sit in front of this dickbag who kept making "funny" comments like "Where's the 'it was charity' section to deal with ugly chicks with hurt feelings" and "How about a 'lying bitch set me up' provision" to his friends. Under his breath of course. The professor would have had him drawn and quartered on the spot. Oh also. Girl sitting right in our section? A survivor.
    I never said anything to the professor or the administration. I'll have to take that with me to my grave. I hate having regrets, but if this fuckstick puts one more toe out of line my inner tattle-tale and I will make his life a living hell #genderbiasbingo

    @yvanehtnioj: (slightly OT but...) And I don't think it gets any better when they get out of law school. My sister is an attorney and recently, the week a female co-worker/attorney returned from maternity leave, the co-worker was told by one of the partners that "there's no way a female with a child could make partner at this firm." She resigned two weeks later. My sister is leaving at the end of the year. The kicker? They specialize in employment law. #genderbiasbingo

    @BelleBreezing: Which brings us to "When I make partner guy", because it's still seen by many men as their due, while for women you have to be the one (emphasize one, there are serious quota issues) superlawyer in a million who also does not have children, get fat, rub anyone the wrong way, or sleep for 8 years. And even then, her making partner is seen as proof that the firm is Progressive and Thoughtful, not just an indicator of her merit. Oh, and she will be required to pose in every single recruitment ad until she dies or retires. With a quote about how Progressive and Thoughtful the firm is.

    You're preaching to the choir here. I've already joined and left Big Law. #genderbiasbingo

    @yvanehtnioj: LOL!!! This is SOO true. My sister (who happens to be 38 and recently married with no kids) and a male started at this firm the same year. He was made partner 2 years ago. My sister is still a Jr. partner and (despite repeatedly asking) hasn't been given stated goals (billable hours, origination) of what she needs to become a partner. And last time it was officially discussed one of the partners mentioned, now that she is married, she probably won't be able to bill as many hours and they needed to take that into consideration. She wants to go into business for herself. Fuck the patriarchy. #genderbiasbingo

    @BelleBreezing: My SO and I are both attorneys. At his firm retreat recently one of the partners asked me why I had chosen to work in public service rather than at a firm (omg why would I ever want to use my degree to help those less fortunate and not make 6 figures by spending my entire life at work?!) and I told him I hoped for a better home-work balance because someday we hope to have kids. His response: "Well I'm a partner in the firm and I have 4 kids, so I don't really understand your argument." HIS WIFE DOESN'T WORK. FML. #genderbiasbingo

I see the way these male partners "parent" - they leave it ALL up to their wives and will miss anything, including birthdays, First Communions, etc. for work. Well, that's your choice. But if you have two parents that do that, you have a neglected child. #genderbiasbingo

    The Chronicle of Higher Ed article makes it sound as though the focus is entirely on bias against mothers, which perturbed me at first, but in fact most of the categories apply to all women in academia. One BIG oversight, however: student bias. As a (small, youngish) female professor, I can tell you that by far the most disturbing gender bias I face is from male students. #genderbiasbingo

    This will be the game of choice at the Jezebel Old Folks Home.

    Related: While furiously reading a newspaper yesterday, I decided my calling in life was to go around, pointing out annoying sexism in pop culture or life in general and finishing it off by yelling "FEMINISTED" and then walking away calmly. It's not bingo, but it'll be kind of like a game.

    This isn't exactly an example of the leniency bias listed here but it reminded me: I used to work on a call-center floor as one of two women out of about 200 computer tech support phone analysts.

    One of the men who worked there also moonlighted at a movie theater and he got about a hundred posters for the Josie and the Pussycats movie, so there were about a hundred of these [www.mp3lyrics.org] staring me in the face all the time. Fine, great, whatever.

    But one day I wore a tank top to work. Not a belly-baring one. Just a tank top that covered my bra straps and everything.

    I got a talking-to by management. I pointed out the women in the posters, of whom there were FAR more than just me, were wearing a lot less than I was. #genderbiasbingo

    Other occurrences included me getting reprimanded for following company policy, which I was not allowed to bend, because a customer complained, and also the fun of having the computer company we all were contracted support for coming in, telling us all our jobs were going to India and that if we had *not* done such a good job we would all still *have* jobs (layoffs in order to preserve stock prices, you see), and by the way, had we reserved them a tee time at the local golf course? #genderbiasbingo

    Also, is it just me or are these questions all way easier than real TP questions? Maybe because they give you a hint. I'm blowing through the Arts & Literature questions, and half of them seem to be about Sherlock Holmes and 1984. #trivialpursuit
