A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview with Jean Back about gender bias in employment practices. The speakers discuss how certain 'masculine' words in job descriptions (e.g., 'ambitious', 'strong') can discourage women from applying, while 'female' words are often caregiving or softer; such language can 'weed women out.'

Can you give some of the words that are used in job descriptions that unconsciously, say, indicate more men are going to apply to that kind of job? You gave some.
Words ambitious, you know, strong. You know, I mean, anything that that maybe used to be sort of a male dominated word. Whereas female words tend to be caregiving. There's softer.
Words, connection, communication, collaboration.
Yeah. So does.
The research show that women themselves will not respond as favorably to that job description? If it's.
Yeah. It weeds women out, you know, and so really, when.
We have those terms that are patriarchal, patriarchal society represent masculinity.
If the woman has unconscious bias herself.
Which, which.
Then it could be.
