3. I can cite a similar gender biased case, the other way around.

A teacher development opportunity arose that required one-weeks residency at a family camping resort that had bunkhouses and common showers for the kids and nice condo-style townhouses for the parents.

Guess which quarters were assigned to the male teacher trainees and which to the female trainees, all of us, mind you, highly qualified professionals.

I tried it, I hated it, I left to rent a hotel room several miles away on my own dime because I don't care to sleep on a slab next to farting boisterous men.

Especially disturbing was that the organizers asked all entrants if they had a preference, but in the end it didn't matter.

Fuck that shit.
