From the Atlantic:

Over the last three years, Sarah Eddy and Daniel Grunspan have asked over 1,700 biology undergraduates at the University of Washington to name classmates whom they thought were “strong in their understanding of classroom material.” The results were worrying but predictable. The male students underestimated their female peers, over-nominating other men over better-performing women.
Put it this way: To the men in these classes, a woman would need to get an A to get the same prestige as a man getting a B.
