It is nasty, isn't it. But there are so many studies showing how boys and girls are treated that it's impossible to ignore: girls being more likely to be praised for being quiet, discrepancies in marking between the sexes, etc. Despite the participating adults swearing up and down that they don't treat boys and girls differently, there it is. And that's one of the most awful things about sexism, it turns us into our own worst enemies.
I'd like to think that I do my best to be impartial w.r.t. children but can I trust myself? Without running myself through some of those tests like the marking one, I'd honestly have to say no.
