Study: Yes, There’s Grading Bias – In Favor Of Women

A recent study found gender biases are prevalent in modern academia; but not the way you think.

The report, published this week in Science, claims “Teaching accreditation exams reveal grading biases favor women in male-dominated disciples in France.” According to the authors of the study, Thomas Breda and Melina Hillion, “women applying for high-level teaching positions in male-dominated fields, such as physics and philosophy,” are favored over men applying for positions in those fields.
