Ooookay, this article about prejudice is written by somebody who plays the gender card in the very first line. It's probably not worth to read it...

Also, by calling attention to the fact that this article was written by a woman which is apparently associated with not being worth reading and then proceeding to write an article that is in fact not worth reading, the author ironically provides salient evidence for the stereotype she seeks to dismiss.

Ironically yes. Fortunately for women, the Bayesian update is going to be small.
