Poor HN title. The actual title is "Gender bias and discrimination towards women". Shortening this to "Gender bias toward women" implies that the bias is in womens' favor; which it very clearly is not.

True, but to be honest, the study itself is biased. It only asked these questions about bias towards women:

> The participation of women in founding teams is overrated.

> Women are poor entrepreneurs.

> I do not like to invest in women.

But did not ask about how people feel about men entrepreneurs. For all we know, respondents might have even harsher opinions of men.

> The results highlight the need for a cultural shift among venture capitalists. A key strategy to initiate this change is through targeted workshops and training programs for venture capitalists of all genders. These programs should promote critical reflection on personal biases and offer practical approaches to confronting gender stereotypes. We recommend that these diversity initiatives be voluntary rather than mandatory to reduce resistance and encourage long-term commitment to change.

> There are also notable differences regarding the second statement, with more men (18.2%, p < 0.001, SE = 0.04) than women (7.9%, SE = 0.07) agreeing with it.

so you get 24 people in a room. 2 men and 1 woman will say, "Women are poor entrepreneurs." so we make 24 people sit in a room so that 3 people wont change their mind? and 21 people are bored?

this is the vanguard of change?

The forced room sittings will continue until sexism improves.
