      Yes I have. My current department is very good and I’ve not experienced this type of prejudice. But unfortunately sexism is still a part of modern society, and sometimes sexism can occur in university settings. Sexism can also occur regardless of whether or not someone is perceived as attractive, and sexism can be a problem for men too.
