How is the gender bias calculated?
The algorithm identifies words within your page or blog post from a list of 120+ gendered words.
It then sums a total for both identified feminine words and masculine words.
The raw “score” is the difference between these two word totals.
And we also calculate a qualitative score: bias free, neutral bias, some bias, and strong bias.

No. The discovery of gendered words in content is not necessarily a bad thing. The goal of this app is to help you quickly identify if gender bias in your content leans strongly in any particular direction. If content is tagged with “strong bias” you may want to read the content, identify the particular sentences and do some editing to bring the calculation score back into “some bias”. |
Why does it think X is gendered?
There will be the occasional edge-cases where a word used in a non-gendered context will be extracted as a “gendered word”. For example the word “commit” might be used in the context of “committing code” but the app will extract and include it in the total as a feminine word. Understanding context within text is just one of those really difficult problems in computer science.
