| Gender Bias Study by Women Researchers Suffers From Gender Bias |
| 2017-05-04 |
| h/t Instapundit [HeatStreet] Internet feminists are outraged after a scientific journal told a group of female researchers that their work on gender bias in academia was gender biased. Two female evolutionary geneticists collaborated on the piece, which claimed that fewer women Ph.D. candidates were published by established scientific journals, leading them to believe, based on interviews with women across the scientific fields, that the publishing industry was biased against female scientists. Not clear that the above has to do with evolutionary biology - but typical. (I wonder if it somebody I know?) The reason females are published less because - unlike female professors of my youth, who got in on being better than average, nowadays its cuteness + the ability to game the system. When they submitted their article to a journal that specializes in publishing research on diversity in the fields of science and medicine, a reviewer suggested that the women include a male voice in their study, just to show that they, themselves, were not coming at the issue from a position of gender bias. Which, I guess, was her way (in today's climate, a male wouldn't be asked to review a paper like this - and, if asked, wouldn't dare to criticize) of saying "your article has no original research, and your conclusions are twaddle |
