Likeability bias hurts women in politics—but this might be changing
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 thousands of women running for office this year.This episode is sponsored by ZipRecruiter (www.ziprecruiter.com/TILTED).
