Very interesting. This exact phenomenon was discussed at an introduction to feminism class I took 10 years ago. The professor explained how society generally is tolerant and positive to women engaging in traditionally male activities, such as playing football and ice-hockey. On the other hand, men engaging in traditionally "female" activities (e.g. ballet) are often frowned upon. Further, they discussed how certain activities (such as teaching) lost prestige and value in society when they shifted from being male-dominated to being female-dominated.
Interesting to see similar biases appearing in LLMs. I think the use of LLMs as a means to understand attitudes in society is underexplored.
- Unbefleckt 2y agoIn my country you need a degree to be a teacher, in the old days, having a degree wasn't part of a normal person's lifecycle. It was prestigious. Now it's not much more impressive than a drivers license.
