Feminist Bias Masquerades as Opposing Bias
Baumeister is my hero but this time the point escapes me. What does that mean?

It means that the people exhibiting feminist bias position themselves and their arguments as if they were opposing bias. So, a feminist argument might be that women are paid less than men for the same job - their argument would be that this indicates anti-female bias. But their argument is ITSELF an example of bias, ie there is no evidence that women make less than men for the same work.

Abstract
This commentary summarizes my struggle to overcome liberal bias without conservative input. I generally assume I am biased and constantly try to build a good-quality argument for the opposite view. Trying to dispense with one's liberal values can help, if one is willing. Frequent self-tests help. Liberal biases include race, gender, and poverty, but also dislike of business corporations and even Western civilization. Feminism is the single strongest and most powerful bias.

I should note that this is commentary on a excellent paper published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences called Political diversity will improve social psychological science. Authors include Jonathan Haidt and Lee Jussim.
Excellent find.
