In Making Hiring Decisions, Men and Women Still Assume Women Are Bad At Math by Sydney Brownstone

One of the most stubborn and pervasive gender-based stereotypes out there is that women are bad at math. I’ve heard versions of this pseudo-scientific crap voiced by technical and non-technical people alike, by stone-cold sexists and friends I respect, too. It’s odd then, that for people who supposedly just “state the facts,” even hard numbers disproving those facts are apparently unlikely to dislodge their biased assumptions.
