In efforts to promote equality and combat gender bias, traditionally male-occupied professions are investing resources into hiring more women. Looking forward, if women do become well represented in a profession, does this mean equality has been achieved? Are issues of bias resolved? Two studies including a randomized double-blind experiment demonstrate that biases persist even when women become well represented (evinced in veterinary medicine). Evidence included managers evaluating an employee randomly assigned a male (versus female) name as more competent and advising a $3475.00 higher salary, equating to an 8% pay gap. Importantly, those who thought bias was not happening in their field were the key drivers of it—a “high risk” group (including men and women) that, as shown, can be readily identified/assessed. Thus, as other professions make gains in women’s representation, it is vital to recognize that discrimination can persist—perpetuated by those who think it is not happening.

为了促进平等和消除性别偏见，传统上由男性占据的职业正在投入资源来雇用更多的女性。展望未来，如果女性在某个职业中得到了很好的代表，这是否意味着已经实现了平等？偏见问题解决了吗？包括一项随机双盲实验在内的两项研究表明，即使女性得到充分代表（在兽医学中得到证明），偏见仍然存在。证据包括经理评估随机分配男性（相对于女性）姓名的员工更胜任，并建议增加 3475.00 美元的薪水，相当于 8% 的薪酬差距。重要的是，那些认为在他们的领域没有发生偏见的人是它的关键驱动因素——一个“高风险”群体（包括男性和女性），如图所示，可以很容易地识别/评估。因此，
