i'm a physics phd and it's kind of weird how apathetic to openly hostile the guys were when i ta'd my uni's intro course. like, if they couldn't understand something, the first response was to withdraw, laze out of the class, and chalk it up to the prof being an "uptight bitch", and then after half of them nearly flunked the first midterm, a few of them started being disruptive in our discussion sections instead of putting in any effort to keep up. funnily enough, the women (even those who struggled) never really got worse than the laziness.
