elucrehGender bias will bite you in the butt.
So Michael's car broke down in front of the house last night. He told us the battery was dead. Did it occur to ANY of us to ask him if he was SURE? NOOooooo...so what do we wind up doing but calling the fire department because we set the jump cables on fire. 0.0
If it had been Kimi, we would have asked. We would have tested. We probably would have asked someone else. But because of the subconscious gender bias--bingo!
Well, we learned something. So--hey!
