> Reading the abstract, it is interesting that the gender of the manager do not effect the bias. I don't think it was that interesting. There often seems to be an implicit assumption when these things come up that people can't or are less likely to be sexist against their own gender, but these kinds of assumptions are seldom given any good arguments. Maybe it has to do with viewing gender issues as a men-against-women, as if these two groups are united teams that uniformly benefit from either team "winning", without regard for their background (social class, race, culture etc.). I don't think that's the case. Nonetheless, in this case, it seems to be a subconscious bias that doesn't serve the employer. Maybe some decades ago, male managers were likely to be sexist to women. But maybe that had more to do with the fact that most managers were men, rather than that women wouldn't also be sexist against other women in the same scenario.
