@anna@mathstodon.xyz @PetraPhoenix@beige.party @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social we had a professor who would
1. Always call on one of the two female presenting students in the class for an answer if no one raised their hand
2. Also always called on someone else after we answered any questions to confirm the answer with a male student.
He was also the ancient little shit who told one of the undergrad women that "engineering school isn't for girls".
I reported to the department but "he's tenured and he's about to retire in a few years"

@anna@mathstodon.xyz @PetraPhoenix@beige.party @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social he was also just a god-awful teacher. Arrived 10-15 min late to class every day. Didn't have the book and had to borrow from a student each class (always accompanied by the story of how he gave his last book away while volunteer teaching in S. America) Wrote the book himself and it was wrong Poor orator Oh, and one time he missed class because he had to support and testify for his class assistant who was accused of taking sex for grades.
