You've posted in the past about issues people have with pattern recognition as the default of human intelligence, and how it can lead to problems with selection bias & such in their thinking, often when talking about practitioners of "woo" and their way to always see things that fit your beliefs.
While it's unquestionable that sexism is rampant, how do you determine if the things and attitudes and responses you're encountering are really sexist or if you're only perceiving them that way because of the worldview you're coming from?
That is to say, now that you've been put in this position how do you judge without bias?
