Emily’s Reviews > Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men > Status Update

“The 2010 study didn’t just find that female politicians were seen as less caring. It found that this perception inspired moral outrage in male and female study participants, who viewed such women with contempt, anger and/or disgust. This was not the case for their male counterparts.” - Pg 269

I’ve known there are discrepancies in studies involving women. But now I’m horribly aware of the huge data gap.

“Studies have shown that a belief in your own personal objectivity, or a belief that you are not sexist, makes you Les objective and more likely to behave in a sexist way. Men (women were not found to exhibit this bias) who believe they are objective in hiring decisions are more likely to hire a male applicant than an identically described female applicant.”
