Fortunately, if my conjecture is true, the solution is "easy": Fight physical work creep, by making devices, installations, furniture, etc. more physically inclusive.
Could physical work creep cause unconscious bias? Have any scholars studied this issue? Are there more / better examples of physical work creep in IT jobs?
P.S.: I conjecture that this issue is not restricted to IT. Non-fly-by-wire airliners, e.g., B737, require force to command the stick, which be designed to the strength of men. I would be curious to see if the proportion of female pilots on Airbus A320 is larger than on B737.
There is a great Norwegian documentary about this subject, called "Hjernevask - The gender equality paradox" which translates to "brain washing". You can watch it here:
Honestly I think unconscious bias is snake oil in its worst form. The topic was popular in my country in the early nineties and it really got towards level I would call child abuse. Like testing the reactions of infants towards people of different skin colors. If such a reaction was perceived, children were shown a "corrective movie" which could induce trauma. There isn't much info on this on the net sadly, I would be quite interested in it because I was subjected to it. In my opinion it is plain child abuse.
But basically I would recommend not to partake in anything mentioning unconscious bias. Everyone has bias and that is completely okay, it is part of your personality. I don't know what the Linux Foundation has on the topic, but I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore or the people selling their "training".
I also don't want to make anything inclusive aside from ensuring physical accessibility for disabled people. Anything else is ideological bullshit in my opinion and doesn't speak too well on the foundation.
What is your favorite color? If you have one you are probably biased.
Women that see themselves as victims from "invisible barriers" shouldn't be a role model. Those that just work in IT might be a good start.
