400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it (114 sec for male authored paper; 98 sec for female authored paper). https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2025/04/24/men-get-more-patent-credit-than-women-even-for-the-same-idea/

People read the author lists? Why would you do that?

@amydiehl
Do you think this bias could have anything to do with the reward structure in academia?
@amydiehl Equity is WOKE. God himself put men over woman. The Devil proclaimed DEI, for sure. White male supremacy has become the law of the Supreme Court. Finally.
@hansbot @amydiehl I had to check if you meant that or were being sarcastic.
@ariaflame @amydiehl This is where we are. Idiocy has become the new normal ๐Ÿ™ƒ
@amydiehl people are still getting funding for studies like this? Is it surprising to anyone that people are biased?
