Paper by David Petersen & colleagues shows gender bias results in up to 0.5 point 
for women. Paper also highlights we don’t’ have evidence-based tools to counter these biases, but some deliberate anti-bias language use could help. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0216241

Paper by Kristina Mitchell & Jonathan Martin shows that different words are used to describe men vs women instructors & that men instructors are given a numerical score bump for being men. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/article/gender-bias-in-student-evaluations/1224BE475C0AE75A2C2D8553210C4E27
This paper by Daniel Storage and Colleagues at University of Illinois showed that the words “brilliant” and “genius” being used in RateMyProf could predict representation of women and POC in different academic fields https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0150194
& now I’m getting cross because a colleague just emailed to ask me to send him all the studies on gender bias in teaching evals. To quote @DrJenGunter “I’m not your research assistant”

This isn’t new. We’ve known about this for thirty + years. See this study from 1987:
