Harvard test, come and test whether you are gender biased.

I saw him yesterday. Tara sent a new video saying that their Harvard teacher left them an assignment to test some of their subconscious prejudices, including racial prejudice and gender prejudice.

I also took a gender bias test.

It will have some gender-related words, such as man, woman, boy and girl. There will also be some words related to career and family, such as garden, kitchen, children, salary, major and briefcase. ...

Then you need to quickly match which side these words belong to. Because the test is your subconscious mind, the sooner the better, it can't be the result of your thinking.

In fact, the principle is very simple, depending on whether you subconsciously bind some specific things to a specific gender, such as housework more bound to women and career more bound to men.

In the end, my test results showed little or no gender bias.

I am still very happy to get this result, and I absolutely hope that I am an impartial person.

But at the same time, I feel a little guilty.

I feel that I still have some gender bias, but maybe as this result says, I just don't have much bias in my career and family.

I really don't have much obsession. After all, who doesn't want to be with a rich woman? Ha ha ha, just kidding.

Personally, I think this matter can be discussed with each other, and I prefer a more equal state.

For example, no matter how much money they earn, both sides have their own jobs, so that they can have their own lives and social circles, instead of just paying attention to some trivial matters at home.

Of course, if you have the ability to be rich and free, it will be more perfect if you don't work, and you can spend more time on your hobbies.

Housework is also something that both parties can participate in, such as one cooking and one washing dishes; One washes clothes and the other dries clothes; One plays with the children, and the other puts them to sleep. ...

Both sides contribute, and home is more like home. There will be a feeling of playing games together and building a beautiful home together, which sounds dreamy and beautiful.

But at the same time, I am also thinking that if the above words about occupation are replaced by specific occupations, rather than some general words, the results may be very different.

For example, I may bind men to be soldiers, women to be nannies (there is a female word next to the word itself), and men to be housekeepers. ...

Including teachers, with the growth of grades, the proportion of male teachers is gradually increasing. If children are paired with teachers, women may be more bound.

At the same time, it includes some personal qualities, such as being tall and powerful, masculinity will bind men, being small and jasper, being gentle and modest will bind women.

Then, I also think that getting this result is related to the fact that this exam is an English exam. If I switch to my mother tongue, Chinese, the result may be very different.

First of all, I don't use English very much, and I rarely accept some gender-related content in English. All the education or discipline we have received since childhood is presented in Chinese.

Like tall and mighty, small jasper, I don't know what the corresponding word is in English. If only words describing size are used, there is obviously not much gender color, but in the Chinese context, these two words have a strong gender color.

Using different languages is also using different ways of thinking. In terms of gender tolerance and openness, foreign cultures are relatively higher, and many ideas and theories are also introduced from the outside.

To sum up, I'm not a man without gender bias at all. After all, people are the product of the environment, and it is hard not to be influenced by the environment.

But realizing that the problem is the beginning of progress, I can make some changes consciously.

Just before, I learned something about the subconscious. We can brainwash our subconscious.

Repetition is very important for brainwashing. So from this perspective, if we pay too much attention to gender issues and some topics related to gender bias, this matter itself will deepen our gender bias.

On the contrary, it is necessary to contact some vague, biased content, or even some opposing content, which is similar to putting a small jasper and a man together and putting a tall and powerful woman together. Brainwash yourself in the opposite direction.

However, there is no need to go to the opposite extreme, but it can create the possibility of this connection.

For example, the role of Nezha and Nezha in 100,000 Cold Jokes is quite Albert Nobbs, and there are different genders in different works. This feature is magnified in this work, with lovely face, lovely voice and strong figure, which is typical of King Kong Barbie.

When I first saw this character, I thought it was a ghost, but because it was a funny animation, I quickly accepted this somewhat outrageous setting. After reading it for a long time, I gradually accepted this possibility.

If such people appeared in the real world, they wouldn't be so surprised and fussy. I think this is also a process of subtly eliminating prejudice.

Ok, that's enough for today's sharing.

May we all become more tolerant people, and may we finally live in a world without prejudice.
