Answer 1

Gender bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender bias refers to practices that may appear neutral or non-sexist, in that they apply to everyone, but which discriminate against females because they reflect the values of the men who created or developed the setting.

Gender bias in classrooms are characterized by gender segregated classrooms. For example;

-Males are more likely to be called up to the front of the room to do demonstrations.

-Males are more likely to be disciplined than girls, even when the misbehavior is identical.

Gender bias in the workplace leads to lack of communication towards females; information being withheld from females; the unwritten rules of a setting not being shared with women; and lack of face-to-face communication with females.
