Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men
researchgate.net
Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

They didn't use very comprehensive research methods. Also they only used Github.
How is it reverse discrimination. It's still plain old discrimination. I'm starting to smell a biased research here. Or at least the researchers have a bias.
Clearly discrimination is only against woman thus reverse discrimination is against man. /s
any bias that doesn't confirm my bias is reverse bias

Thanks for pointing it out. There is clearly room for a lot of error.
