<p class="MsoNormal">“Gender bias should be recognized as a <a href="http://jberdahl.blogspot.ca/2014/09/bias-as-incompetence.html">form of incompetence</a> in the workplace: the inability to work with and respect women, or to recognize merit and promising
ideas independent of their style or source, are social and intellectual handicaps. Rather than a masculine culture that stigmatizes femininity, tech needs a competence culture that stigmatizes misogyny and trains people to recognize and combat it.”<o:p></o:p></p>
