Are “gender coded words” an actual thing? If I understand it correctly, they are words that are associated with masculinity or femininity, and subtly convey a gender bias when used in, eg, job descriptions. But isn’t claiming that words like ‘expert’, ‘leader’, ‘polite’ are biased towards one gender, inherently biased itself?
—After more research, it seems these gender codes are revealed at cohort/ mass data set level. Interesting but I still wonder how they control for bias.
