tell that to the bleed-over professors at Western Ontario's English Department from the Women's Studies programme... my having that Y-chromosome sure pissed off some of the professors and their somewhat slanted interpretation of classic English Lit
If they're violating their code of conduct, then YOU should tell someone. You'll find the majority of us are strongly behind the importance of ojectivity in the classroom.
I did my Master's thesis (at Western, btw) on Female Labour Force Participation and one of my peer reviewers (a ruralist-feminist sociologist from Utah, of all places) said she liked my research methods and writing style but was concerned that I had chosen a research topic that really should have been undertaken by a female. She basically questioned my objectivity, on the grounds of sexism, solely based on my gender, in front of a room full of people while I was defending to graduate. So, I hear your concerns and hope you'll voice them.
