My sort of similar story about 5th grade isn't really about gender discrimination but intelligence. When I was in 5th grade I, and about 3 others in my section, about 10 of us overall were pulled out once a week for advanced gifted/talented stuff. We did projects and puzzles, and advanced math, etc. Well in upper elementary it was the teacher's option whether to let the class have a morning recess. Our teacher would regularly give the class the bonus/reward of morning recess while we were at our supplemental instruction. She didn't see what we were doing as work and not play. And for us it wasn't recess, it was work a lot of the time, even if it was more enjoyable than the classroom. We brought it up to our parents and she change, or at least made sure not to do it all the time then, but I think that may be why she didn't like me all that much. Or it could have been that when I was in 5th grade I knew more than she did.
