According to Textio, a program that checks for gender bias in writing, bullet points and words such as “proven” and “under pressure” have a male bias. Textio was created by Dr. Kieran Snyder, who held “leadership roles at Microsoft and Amazon,” and Jensen Harris, who also worked for Microsoft. It cost $1.5 million to create.
Textio checks for bias in favor of men or women in job listings, as well as kickstarter campaigns. According to it, having too many bullet points in a job listing “often turns women candidates away,” and are rated as biased against women.
Other words that favor men in listings are “proven” and “under pressure,” as well as “exceptional.” Instead of “proven,” you should write "validated" and instead of “exceptional,” you should write “extraordinary,” according to the site’s analysis.

The only problem is, “validated” is not a synonym for “proven”.
And don’t use the word “calculating” in connection with Hillary Clinton!
having too many bullet points in a job listing
So women can’t read a list without melting into a slobbering puddle?
Maybe the problem is not the listing....
now wait, I thought bullet points were VIOLENT, not sexist!
And “proven” shows a clear bias against under-achievers!
Give everyone a job just like their teachers did for showing up.
Beaver points are the new bullet points
She is obviously one of N reasons (where N is a large number) why Microsoft has the believability of a liberal.
What a bimbo.
There’ll come a day when the US is completely silent as anything said or written can be construed as...anything.
The more serious problem is thtthese gynofascists are not kidding and people,aren’t stopping this bulksh1t.
Without intractable problems to solve what would liberals do?

lol
Tex tio - uncle - sounds sexist to me.
How about ‘fabulous’?
(Is that ok for bullet points? Am I validated?)
Is it the opinions of the software developers or does it come from psychological screening groups and are either valid for anything other than bolstering the ‘feminist’ view on language misogyny? Sexism and Gender Bias are viewed as thought crimes in the PC Crowd and used to give license to the censors and victimhood advocates. The only time I would be EVER inclined to use the software would be in correspondence to government agencies, academia and applying for government grants. Since I ain’t anywhere near those culture petrie dishes ... not interested!
