The post cites "Gender difference and bias in open source" as a supporting evidence, but it is super unconvincing. The study found, in the study's own words, "Surprisingly, our results show that women’s contributions tend to be accepted more often than men’s". They still conclude bias against women (not men)! They have their reasons, but they don't stand up to scrutiny. For more details than you probably want, see http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/02/12/before-you-get-too-exci... Meritocracy may be problematic, but the proposition needs better evidence than that. |
