  • "Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's.โ€
    > Whyโ€™s this a surprise? Are women, representing about 50% of population, typically cognitively incapable, knuckle draggers (https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/knuckle+draggers)?

  • โ€œHowever, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often.โ€
    > Speaks volumes (https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Speaks+volumes) to reviewerโ€™s bias than any womanโ€™s capability.
