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?

A classic! I guess now in 2020 the son could have two fathers.

... or have the dead father resurrected by a Necromancer before the surgery? I might have spent too much time in games, though...

Haha yes! Trying to solve the riddle with another male doctor proves the bias but still :)

Yeah the fact that I too thought it must have been a gay couple before I even considered that the surgeon could have been a woman certainly proves the point!

The few doctors and surgeons I know personally are all women, so I feel like I cheated ;)

Well, I used to, haha my senior High School class was 25 smart girls and 4 of us dumb dudes, so - it was kinda hard trying to be "Guys know best" when that was so obviously not true ;) Some of them became doctors and surgeons - I became... well.. whatever-the-hell I am today :)

Thank you, but I don't save lives and treat sick people. :) It wasn't intended to be self-deprecating, just an acknowledgement that there are AMAZING women out there, saving lives and being awesome in different fields than mine. And that I'm happy to know some of them :)
