I sometimes enjoy the ABC's "Hard Quiz". In one episode I noticed that a young woman's "specialist" knowledge questions were much easier than the man who stood out as a likely winner, and when the two faced off in the "hard" specialist knowledge round she got through with apparentely easier questions.

I felt that on this occasion the bias was clear, but I suspect that it's common. (I try to switch off from these issues for a couple of hours at night!)
While the show can be entertaining I find that Tom Gleason's smarmy humor has a left/feminist slant which irritates me too much to watch it regularly.
I distinctly recall him comenting once "Maybe it's because men are shits". Grin and wink.
Whatever it takes to switch off at the end of the day!
The "Hard Quiz" format is entertaining and stimulating, and Tom Gleason's humor is very sharp.
However, having seen the favouritism to a female contestant once, it will be hard to "unsee" it in the future.
Another factor I've seen is that when female contestants are introduced they can be more boastful of their success in a particular field, with Gleason grinning along with how they stuck it to the men.
The discrimination against men is everywhere in the media. It is also being weaponised in families where the husband (assuming a male) is lied about and accused of violence if he even protests, so that the children are turned against him.

Admitting you enjoy ABC 😉 the ABC kids is great though. Bluey have saved them.
