Comment on Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism
HandBreadedTools@lemmy.world 8 months agoOther types of sexism include disbelief when a woman explains their experiences and baselessly denying evidence they present to support their claims.

Which proves my point. I question the data, I’m a sexist pig. It’s a hard field when your data is shaky.

It’s sexist if you don’t look further into the claims, instead just relying on your immediate assumptions about them being false.
If you immediately assume women are lying about experiencing sexism, and you don’t look into it further at all, and your reasoning is based solely on them being women as opposed to men, then yeah I’d say that’s pretty sexist. I’m not sure how someone could think otherwise.

I didn’t make any assumptions. By default, the statement made in the paper is not sexist.
By making assumptions, you bring in your bias and sexism. You just made 3 or 4 to justify your position
