John - I fail to see how your conclusion follows from your
examples. Bias implies a
deliberate (conscious or unconscious) difference in the way
groups are dealt with.
Your examples simply show that male and female students have a
predisposition to react
differently to the same circumstances.
Perhaps the word bias was strong, however it is applicable to the first
study I mentioned where the researches saw evidence that girls had less
physical experience. Certainly when boys and girls are mixed the male
competition leaves the girls out, which could be considered a bias.
