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 sites analysis.

All words are sexist. And racist.
Even sounds.
Smells.
Thoughts.
Stop thinking, it’s sexist and racist.
I know, I know, I need the /sarc tag. Sigh.
Two bullet points are clearly a metaphor for testicles. How would you like to be faced with that every day if you are an innocent little flower? The horror!
Don’t get me started if there are three bullet points stacked on top of each other. I shudder to think what THAT means.
No high capacity bullet points!
For a moment, I thought the headline was about actual bullets, as in for my gun - as if there was something phallic that made those sexist.
What about 11 or more bullet points? That is a high capacity bullet point clip and must be banned immideatley to protect innocent feminists makeup!
Let me guess, in liberal speak in means something about now you felt about your performance at said jib, not how you actually performed said job.
That is just toooooo funny and highlight how ridiculous this entire discussion is.
This entire issue is just a lot of BS IMO and the professional women I choose to associate with agree with me. However, I absolutely cannot stand to participate in most women’s groups. They get way too involved in the process and not the results. Women and girlie men just need to suck it up and get their “validation” elsewhere.
That explains why men are better at some things than women.
? Mine are hollow points
What if “reading bulleted lists” is a non-negotiable job qualification?
Is this satire?
While I don’t speak French.
Isn’t the French language literally centered around the “Male/Female” ?
"You can thee it thruthting . . . thruthting!!!"
Don’t worry. There is no end to “feelings” based problems that liberals would want to solve.
