>Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.
If gender isn't identifiable, why is it surprising at all that women have a higher acceptance rate? This is really annoying me, anyone else notice this?
