Your chemistry teacher likes to make jokes about women, e.g. “Teflon – boys think of spacecraft; girls think of frying-pans.” In class, he doesn’t take the girls seriously: he gives the boys all his attention and ignores the girls. The other day, a girl asked a question about something she had not understood. Smirking, he replied: “What a stupid question! Typical! Science is nothing for you women.” Some people laughed and the poor girl turned red with embarrassment.
How would you react? And why?

I don't like it, …
I find it pretty funny …
I find such behaviour really lousy …
I get really mad …
Such behaviour makes me sick …
