Men and women get different from of criticism. Our current culture is to judge men by what they do, women by their person. This article simply include an other example of a rather well established concept.

It would be kind of fun to see what happen if the reviewer intentionally reversed this and judged women solely from what they accomplish, and men on their personality with a token "The work ultimately went well". The resulting culture shock and mixed signals would be an interesting pattern to observe.

An other kind of interesting test would be a dating site that write the profiles for its clients. If they wrote female profile that only focused on job, earning, and skills, and a male profiles that only describe the person personality and looks, would the clients be happy when they got to read their own profiles?
