Gender differences and bias in open source: pull request acceptance of women versus men
Gender differences and bias in open source: pull request acceptance of women versus men
Biases against women in the workplace have been documented in a variety of studies. This paper presents a large scale study on gender bias, where we compare acceptance rates of contributions from men versus women in an open source software community. Surprisingly, our results show that women’s contributions tend to be accepted more often than men’s. However, for contributors who are outsiders to a project and their gender is identifiable, men’s acceptance rates are higher. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

Féminisme - Le genre
Féminisme - Le genre
Dans un premier temps associé au « sexe social », le genre a ensuite été défini comme un rapport social hiérarchique divisant l’humanité en deux moitiés inégales. Le genre définit ainsi le sexe, qui ne peut plus être considéré comme une réalité physique indépendante de nos pratiques sociales. Ces analyses ont ouvert la voie à une multitude de courants politiques prenant le genre et ses effets pour cible.

Six Months at Riot Games
Six Months at Riot Games
I’ve been up all night after reading Kotaku’s article on the company culture of Riot, and its effect on women in particular. Cecilia contacted me as a potential source, but I didn’t commit to providing my experience on the record because I was worried about the ramifications of speaking out. The discourse around this conversation and the reticence to believe the women who came forward has stunned me. I’ve been carrying around a heavy weight on my shoulders since 2014, and I feel it is finally time to let it go. I only lasted six months at Riot before resigning.
