I think this is a cop-out. You can point out that majorities have more people to use weapon, but weapon the same.

It's not about number of ppl. It's about a fundamental difference in power dynamics. Oppressor v oppressed.

those studies don't claim implicit bias isn't real, just that the IAT isn't effective test.

It's been proven scientifically by other measures.

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.
