They're both true at the same time, which is exactly the point. The people in the article in the paper weren't trying to teach their neural net that men usually wear suits and women usually wear bikinis, but they did. They only noticed because the failure mode was really obvious. In some other situation, the exact same kind of sexist bias might exist in the data -- and important decisions, affecting people's lives, may be made -- without anybody noticing first.
