I've witnessed plenty of gender bias in IT (and my comment history goes into quite a bit of detail in past discussions), but I can't say this article seems to be indicative of it to me. It appears that when you account for the majority of situations, women actually have a higher acceptance rate then men for pull requests, but in a rather subjective measurement ("identifiably gendered profiles" for "outsiders"), the trend reverses. I don't know that there's necessarily a lot of evidence that maintainers are going around looking for things that identify genders in a profile before they accept a pull request, and if that single measurement is indicative of bias against women in one specific situation, it seems they have even stronger evidence of bias against men in other situations. There seems to be questionable correlation that requires belief that a unfalsifiable and subjective judgment is occurring. There's no hard proof that this correlation exists to begin with, much less proof of it being causal in nature. There's plenty of real gender bias and discrimination going on. Let's try to focus on that.
