Okiedokie, let's get it from the horse's mouth: Gender differences and bias in open source: pull request acceptance of women versus men [PeerJ]

The study doesn't even define a margin of error, yet somehow I knew that by looking at the provided information. Strange, right?

Oh, and look at that comparative pull requests as sliced by gender. You want to see a bias skew in action, this is it.
