And here's the minor quibble:

I would say 75-95% of all white, male, fathers in the United States currently have at least some gender biases that they will pass down to their kids.

Why specify "white"? Your statement is probably true, but there appears to be an implication that it doesn't apply to the non-white population. That has not been my experience (if you construe "white" to mean "as opposed to black/Asian/Hispanic/etc., my experience is by observation and word of mouth; "white" could also be interpreted as more like "WASP", in which case my contrary experience is also personal).

Sorry that wasn't clear - I specified white because I feel I'm ignorant on POC families and lack the necessary data to do an extrapolation with anywhere near the same confidence :)
