- Manuel_D 4y agoAs I pointed out in my other reply [1], this is a poll asking women if they think they have been discriminated against - it's measuring perceptions of discrimination. It's not measuring discrimination. If I poll orchestra members and a lot more men say the face discrimination in hiring, but when I conduct blind auditions men do even worse what does that tell me? Or tells me that their perceptions of discrimination are out of line with the reality of discrimination. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34912299 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34912299
