It's possible, but the likelihood is so low some might wonder why you're bringing that possibility up rather than discuss the much more likely alternative and how we can fix it.

Also; "I asked men and women in tech if they would be willing to share their reviews for a study and didn’t stipulate anything else."

Why do you think the likelihood is very small?

Has there been research?

[tbrownaw]

Groups who are or expect to be treated differently will behave differently. Groups who are specifically taught to behave differently will also behave differently.

Are both of those really that unlikely?

We have arguments here all the time about perceived vs actual sexism or the effects of cultural gender norms, and have female-specific business self-help books.

I think there's certainly a likelihood that men and women are different, and that not every perceived difference is sexism.
