The reported survey results are disturbing and match those reported in other anecdotal surveys I have read and comments made to me by female colleagues and friends.
I do wish that the survey designers had not relied on self-selection in their sample so that the results could be a more reliable predictor of the prevalence of these behaviors in the general population.
The recent HN comments on the NY Times Article, When Teamwork Doesn't Work For Women, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/10/upshot/when-teamwork-doesnt-work-for-women.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/10/upshot/when-teamwork-doesn..., shows that prejudice and bias similar to those reported here is alive and well in the HN Community.
Raising consciousness is a commendable goal, but it does not do anything to correct the problem.
- DrScump 11y agoprejudice and bias similar to those reported (in the NYT article) is alive and well in the HN Community. How so? The examples in that article are all in academia. To generalize those results to the HN community without quoting similar, non-anecdotal data specific to the HN universe is a logical fallacy.
