Such as?

Yes, academia can be a remarkably top-down and rigidly hierarchical 
place, for someplace purportedly full of Marxists. not news.

In general though it's difficult for professors to be completely 
objective, and there's always the one person in the class who's like 
"heh. yeah. Stupid humanities PhD, thinks she's so smart. I'mma show 
this leftist CUNT what's up."

Then they "mark you harder" in the sense that they just grade you very 
strictly on the work vs. the bump they have to give everyone else so 
everyone isn't doing as bad as you in the class, and then they have no 
job no mo, because undergrad writing almost universally sucks ass.
