Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men - eviltoast

Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

    Devs focus more on the code of anon devs, instead of wasting time on their gender, race, or whatever.
