Research from Sweden: "3,200 fictitious job applications sent to 15 different occupations" "Granberg and his colleagues found that women had higher positive employer response rates than men on average, an effect that was primarily driven by female-dominated occupations."

I'm sure this will get the same attention as the fictitious wage gap. I can't wait for the PSAs and the celebrity tweets talking about this.

I'm sure it'll happen.

So, after all, the issue is not, and never ever was with 'boys' clubs', but with girls' clubs, and lack thereof!

Seems to me that women are on average way, way more sexist against men, than the other way around. Where are all the social programs to change that? Where are all the forced quotas to 'redress the imbalance'?

Granberg and his colleagues found that women had higher positive employer response rates than men on average, an effect that was primarily driven by female-dominated occupations. There was no evidence of discrimination against women in male-dominated professions or in mixed-gender professions, but the researchers did find evidence of discrimination against men in female-dominated professions.
“When using all data, the p-value for the negative marginal effect for men would have been considered significant in high energy physics (p = .000000026 or, to use physicist notation, 5.57σ),” the researchers wrote in their study. “Thus, using the combined sample, we estimated that female applicants had a 52.17 percent relative advantage in positive employer response rates over males in occupations where they were the predominant gender.”
The findings indicate “that, at least in Sweden and the occupations we study, hiring discrimination in entry level jobs is primarily a problem for men in female-dominated occupations,” Granberg told PsyPost.

Wait for it...

The researchers only examined whether the job applications received a response from employers. It is possible, of course, that women face other types of workplace discrimination.

There it is.

And of course nothing will be done. Female in-group bias is not harmless.

Okay, but what about non-female dominated fields? Sounds like it is a Simpson's Paradox situation.

Yeah, there are female dominated and make dominated fields.

So when women are in charge, there is discrimination; when women are not in charge, there is less discrimination.

Discrimination against men.
