Hi Fil,
I am surprised that you request specific examples to illustrate the
principles I described. Each and every post supporting Luiza is a
(lived, not hypothetical) example of the material effects of gendered
practices on real bodies. There are far too many examples from daily
life, and it is well documented that women fare far worse in student
feedback surveys on teaching, but here's some that stand out:
1: Some years ago, I went to a Mac shop to update my computer when
both my daughters were very young (they were with me because what else
would I do with them?). The young, male salesman finally turned to me
after chatting with his colleagues and after I said I wanted to buy a
computer, he said to me 'and what colour would you like that in?' This
points to his assumptions about what women use computers for, what
they value in technological apparatuses, and the role/professional
position he imagined I occupied.
2: when conducting my interviews with women design academics about
gendered experiences for my PhD, I was told over and over again that
while they had a PhD, multiple publications, prolific practices, etc.
some of their male colleagues in higher academic positions didn't even
have a masters degree.
3: anonymous written student feedback (on a formal survey) on a woman
lecturer: 'Speak up bitch'
4: a small sample of scholarly articles on gender bias in teaching
evaluations: http://theconversation.com/should-female-faculty-get-bonus-points-to-correct-for-gender-bias-in-student-evaluations-43166https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/01/11/new-analysis-offers-more-evidence-against-student-evaluations-teaching
Any other women like to offer examples of gendered practices?

One tiny request: it would be good for me personally - because I too
would
like to learn - if specific (albeit possibly hypothetical) examples
were
given.
