“I just don’t like her” – Likeability bias hurts women in politics

Lean In has a podcast called Tilted. Here is a great episode about the likeabiliy bias and how it may or may not be affecting women running in political races.

About this episode:

“Ever heard someone say “I just don’t like her” about a woman running for office? So many of us judge women candidates more harshly than we judge men—and it’s driven by something called likeability bias (or the likeability penalty). On this episode of Tilted, you’ll hear directly from women who work in politics how this bias has played out in the past and why it might be changing for the hundreds of women running for office this year.”
