In reply to the discussion: Think You're Not Biased Against Women Leaders? Take the Test [View all]Chan790
(20,176 posts)...which interests me because:
a.) I'm genderfluid. maab
b.) I'm accused almost daily of being a misandrist. (Which is pretty much factually true. I strongly dislike other biological males as a general rule. About 55% of my close friends are women, but about 80% of my acquaintances are women.)
c.) Have done best in my life with female supervisors.
d.) A strong base of my opposition to Clinton is that I think her economic positions make her terrible for the interests of women.
e.) Identify as a feminist.
f.) Come from a household where my mother is far-and-away the major breadwinner. (She's a weapons-systems engineer and the Exec. VP of a defense manufacturer; my stepfather is a grocer.)
(note that males hardly factor into my thinking across-the-board)
All in all, from a sociological standpoint, I find the results suspect...the use of color and the hand-switching probably had a larger impact on my results than my inherent biases. I had 5x as many errors in the second half of the test than the first half. I'm also highly left-hand dominant. If they ran the sections in the opposite order, my result almost certainly switches.
