FWIW, your argument that you do not have the privileges that your interlocutor assigned you is an argument from lived experience: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Lived_experience http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Lived_experience When you say that bias differs from person to person, I don't think anyone would disagree. Do you believe that it differs such that the net effect is exactly neutral across the population? At the end of the day, in this field, it is your work that matters. I admire your willingness to put forward a testable hypothesis. Unfortunately, it has been tested, and (at least for scientists) is wrong: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3478626/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3478626/ Which leaves you claiming that you are peculiarly immune from robustly observed cognitive biases. This may well be true for you particularly, but even if that is the case it is still not a widely followed effect (even among people who believe themselves to be gender-blind).
