This is a great comment and I hope that people think carefully about what you are saying. One problem with discussing our biases is that sexism and racism are considered moral failings in many places, and so a discussion of possible sexist behavior is seen as a discussion of sin. This is why so many replies are along the lines of, "I am not a bad person! Also, look at my childhood problems!" These are reactions to a perceived personal condemnation, not a discussion of a sociological phenomenon. To those who have this reaction, > It's OK to grow up sexist; if our current theories are correct, almost all of us do whether we like it or not. It's not OK not to learn about sexism and try to fight it now that we have a much better sense of how it works.
