    If even 14% of children prefer peanut butter over almond butter, there’s a bias problem, amirite? We must do something about the bias against almond butter!

    This is a false equivalence. It’s fine if some kids have a preferred butter. It’s not so fine if some HR heads have a belief that men are better suited to top jobs.

      It is mentioned to highlight the absurdity of the use of dark patterns in propaganda. Tell me, what do you think the response to “1 in 7 HR heads think men aren’t good for profitability in top roles”?

      If you think that would generate outrage, you are delusional. I frequently see comments and policies discriminatory to men applauded and “kill all men” comments ignored or even liked.
