Questions:
History: At one time, men and women did not go to the same college, why is this?
What is a step forward for decreasing the gender bias in specific majors?
Title IX?
Structure: College majors tend to be gender-biased, how does this extend into the workforce?
Do genders have certain expectations for college majors?
What are (are there) economic implications of the gender bias in the workforce?
How is second-generation bias formed and how can it be broken?

Categorizations:
Can gender bias be grouped in different ways (think about the different places where gender
bias can occur)?
Are there different levels to gender bias? Where is it the strongest?

Turn positive questions into negative ones:

How can men or women turn their disadvantage into an advantage? Why do men
and women have a disadvantage in some areas of study?
Do women in particular have a disadvantage in schools?
Why are some majors particularly male-heavy or female-heavy? Is it really biased
if the students choose to be gender biased in these fields?

I agree with Maria Aranda that the nursing career will always be predominantly female because
of my experience with the classes I am taking through nursing school now and my experiences
visiting doctors offices throughout my life confirms it.

Jacob: Sarah Bronwells theory that gender socialization perpetuates gender disparity in STEM
fields is useful because it sheds light on a probable cause of the issue of gender inequity in
academics.

Though I concede with Moss-Racusin and Johnson that male elementary teachers are seen
differently than those who are female, I still insist that because most elementary teachers are
female, being a male will help them stick out in the hiring process, giving them somewhat of an
advantage.

I agree with Elses discussion that gender bias is an issue in many fields of study, and my
experience in engineering confirms that biases exist.

I agree with Broidos study that claims sexism still exists in the workplace because they included
women who talked about the lack of respect they receive in the workplace, and I concur that
shedding light on this gender inequality is the first step in finding a solution.

Gist: Although many advances towards inequalities have been made, the authors claim that this
inequality is still present; whether it be within majors or even in a particular career. Since this
inequality begins in the college setting, as stated by Else, Moss-Racusin, Bronwell, and Aranda,
its inherent that it will continue into the work setting, as stated by Broidos study.
