I don’t have any personal experience of the type of overt sexism as in your example because we were treated equally. Female teachers did have a tendency to slipper harder than the men and were slightly more ready to use CP. I had put that down to their not wanting to appear weak but a reluctance by male teachers to punish girls could also be a factor. If I were caught misbehaving with a boy, it would be obvious the teacher was treating us unfairly if he only punished the boy. The only practical way he could avoid punishing me was to not punish the boy either. It would also be pretty obvious a teacher was being unfair if a couple of boys got the slipper for whispering in class but he turned a blind eye to a group of girls carrying on a loud conversation.
