Just had my own unconscious bias checked with this riddle:
A father & son are in a car crash. The father dies on the spot; the son is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Upon arrival the surgeon exclaims, "I can't operate on him, he's my son!"
How is this possible?

If it were written “a parent and their child”, without putting your brain into a gendered context from the get-go, I think you’d get a more accurate assessment of any unconscious bias, but I def. agree that we’ve been trained to assume people in powerful positions are male.

I would actually be suuuuuuper curious to see how many with the nongendered writing would automatically put mum in the car and dad in surgery (as we’re also trained to assume het relationships), and the assumed gender of the child
Oops. There’s the rabbit hole
