I don't make straw man arguments. But I do make weak man arguments, and perhaps I should reconsider that. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/05/12/weak-men-are-superweapons/ …

those studies don't claim implicit bias isn't real, just that the IAT isn't effective test.
-
So your theory is that it's real, but not scientifically measurable?
-
It's been proven scientifically by other measures.

Other sources find opposite, eg https://blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mask-gender-in-technical-interviews-heres-what-happened/ …. Likely very dependent on context.

Do you believe women are just worse at working with technology? What other explanations could there be?
-
See https://www.aei.org/publication/2013-sat-test-results-show-that-a-huge-math-gender-gap-persists-with-a-32-point-advantage-for-high-school-boys/ … . Women get fewer tech jobs because fewer women in higher math.
-
and why do you think there are fewer women in math and science?
-
Lower scores on relevant exams + fewer decide to go into those professions.
