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-constructionist 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

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

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

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

Also, if it weren't for this Economy, they would have gotten offers to work in Biglaw this summer, but assume that any of the women who didn't get offers wouldn't have anyway. #genderbiasbingo

But to any philosophy Jezzies, it's all too familiar... *Spent 6 years wanting to strangle all these dudes* #genderbiasbingo

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.

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
