The truth is gender bias is so ingrained in society that it’s almost automatic. That’s why we created the #BiasCorrect Plug-In—a tool that helps you spot your own unconscious bias in everyday conversations

I saw this on twitter and as the Founder of Womenwhokeynote.com this is a great solution to an epidemic problem in the tech world and beyond. My love to the creators of this!

Is BiasCorrect essentially a negativity-reducing word suggestion tool wrapped in the mission of workplace equality? I am absolutely supportive of workplace equality (and proud to be working for an industry-leading employer in terms of equality and equal opportunity), but was curious if the platform had specific language detection for female vs male/undefined subjects. As the brand grows, BiasCorrect could become a powerful platform for reducing all forms of workplace and interpersonal discrimination, whether it be a bias stemming from gender, race, rank, or other personal characteristics. Just my two cents, and I wish you nothing but success

We were just discussing it with @abadesi! The Slack extension seems like a great tool. It offers alternatives words but also explains why. We should install it on ALL THE SLACKS

Freedom of speech < protecting you from boohoos? If ur sexist this helps you pretend ur not while doing nothing about the real issue. As Mr Wonderful says, "it howls at the moon, take it behind the barn and shoot it." How can PH even push something this dumb? Used to be great products getting featured, now it's more and more of this pc crap.

Pros:

Nothing. It's dumb.

Cons:

Time wasted could be spent fixing real problems. Denies snowflakes opportunity to grow character.

This is really cool I'd love to see what impact it can have on people's interactions within a team/company over time!

This is really cool 😎. Not sure how big is the dataset though. The Github repository data set seems very limited. https://github.com/EskaleraInc/c...

@asknilan Good call, I didn't see the dataset earlier. Feels very limited, indeed. Would love to far more comprehensive list of adjectives. A bit disappointed in some of the translations, I think some assume a specific context and offer a more patronizing/matronizing suggestion rather than a thought-provoking one.

Cant agree with you more @chris_germano. Nevertheless, kudos to the idea and MVP works pretty well.

How are you gonna distinguish unconscious bias from the intended definition? In the GitHub above I only see one-to-one word mapping, which doesn't seem enough for such rich thing as a word's meaning. For example, replacing 'quiet' to 'thoughtful' can't help a person, who needs to be more interactive with people(gender-independently). I'm a quiet person and it's not my strongest skill, but(in my case)more disability to properly interact with people and it did(and still does) a disservice to me. I use Grammarly for fixing my words, but you are trying to somehow invent the whole text-based meaning engine, that somehow(HOW?) will be protected from the bias itself and I'm wondering, how. 'Show off' in Merriam-Webster: 1) to display proudly 2) to seek to attract attention by conspicuous behavior. In your GitHub: confident. Now, it's just Orwell's doublespeak
