Meta-analysis of field studies on gender bias in hiring

In male-dominated/gender-balanced fields, male applicants were favored before 2009. Since then, however, there's been no consistent bias or even a weak pro-female bias.

@payeldas1011 Agreed & mos def my personal motto. But I think it’s important to note that elites/neoliberalism like to appropriate the hard-work ethnic as a way to justify marginalization and hide behind meritocracies. Maybe that’s where the sense of it being an unpopular opinion comes from.
