The study said so, so it must be true!

I'm geeky enough to be happy when a study validates what I've seen and experienced - but this one is just a great big headslapping "d'oh!" Note that the bolding and italics are mine.

I think so, too. I'm glad this is getting the publicity I believe it deserves.

Wow, an article that doesn't totally muff it re: implicit biases. I am pleasantly surprised :D.

Gimme a call sometime? We should chat!

Yeah, there are things worse than unemployment, especially if your boss doesn't respect you and it erodes at your sense of self.

I can't believe you would be criticized for your age. In many parts of the world, age is respected as a sign of maturity and experience. But we can be a pretty brash and foolhardy as a nation, so that sort of attitude is common here is not surprising.

I'm glad this article got published in such a major paper. Many people (mostly men) are not even willing to consider that gender bias exists. It's sad.
