participants may have ‘felt that they had chosen the right man for the job, when in fact they had chosen the right job criteria for the man.’21 Ironically, the people who were most convinced of their own objectivity discriminated the most.

This sums up why "women are worse because science" bothers me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the scientific method and objectivity. The issue is that - as Fine describes - it is very easy to excuse your own sexism if you choose to believe in second-hand reporting of hard-to-replicate studies.
