  >>Clicking on this headline I knew for sure that the person was a woman How? Like, I don't really have anything else to add - I'm just curious how could you possibly be so sure before you even opened the article. >> At some point we can't hide behind correlation is not causation anymore. Is it still hiding if it's true?

  "Clicking on this headline I knew for sure that the person was a woman" And this proves what exactly? Putting aside that you didn't "know" anything, all it shows is that you made a correct guess. On what basis? Well, probably because the media have been yammering on about gender bias for years. So you're confusing your own prior bias with reality. Congrats. You've discovered confirmation bias.

  In this case you may be perceiving a different type of bias than you assume.
