Gender bias in female physician assessments. Women considered better suited for qualitative research

Tensions across disciplines and methodologies over what constitutes appropriate academic voice in writing is far from arbitrary and instead is rooted in competing notions of epistemology, representation, and science. In this paper, I examine these tensions as well as address current issues affecting academic voice such as gender bias and the rise of social media. I begin by discussing reflexivity in research and then turn to the ways in which personal-reflexive voice has been hidden and revealed by academic writers. I also illustrate how the commercialization of academic science intersects with the use of distant-authoritative voice in sometimes corrupting ways. I examine variations in academic voice as they relate to issues of researcher emotion, class, race, and gender. Finally, I discuss the scientization of qualitative research and resulting increased interaction between scholars of varying epistemological positions which I argue can increase attention to the epistemological underpinnings of academic voice.

Humor becomes an important part in institutionalizing the culture of pesantren. Yet, the humor in pesantren often ignores the values that respect gender equality. Understanding Islam pesantren patriarchy becomes the root for establishing the themes of humor that exploit women’s bodies and sexuality.

The results of this study showed that Islam patriarchy in pesantren institutionalized within the themes of humor created by kiai, teachers, and students in pesantren. As the implication, humor in pesantren contains the values and ideology of gender bias in the form of stereotyping, objectification, and the domestication of women. Dominant objects in pesantren humor are the body and female sexuality. The body becomes the center of worship and praise despite the epicenter definition, identity, and control on women by men.Humor menjadi bagian penting dalam pelembagaan budaya pesantren. Akan tetapi humor-humor di pesantren sering mengabaikan nilai-nilai yang menghargai kesetaraan gender. Pemahaman Islam pesantren yang patriarki menjadi akar pembentukan tema-tema humor yang mengeksploitasi tubuh dan seksualitas perempuan. Kajian humor dan seksualitas di lingkungan pesantren di Indonesia termasuk yang luput dari perhatian. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis feminis di pesantren Priangan Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa patriarkisme Islam pesantren terlembagakan dalam tema-tema humor yang dibuat kiai, guru, dan santri di pesantren.

This study discusses gender bias in terms of language especially from Indonesian into English translation by using Google Translate. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The result shows that most likely every language has gender-biased sides, including English because the type of society in the reality of life is more represented by men and women. In Google translate, the unequal differences between men and women translated into google translate causes the system to be considered biased and sexist towards gender. Whereas in fact, nowadays all genders can have various activities and jobs. Indonesian is also a gender-neutral language. When google translates to change into English, the sentence becomes gendered. The Indonesian language in this case seems to have been saved from being sexist because it does not associate a particular profession or activity with any gender. Unlike English, which adjusts personal pronouns based on gender. Google Translate is not always accurate, especially when translating from English to other languages. That is where Google Translate tends to go astray. The problem is that many languages have gender-based words, whereas English does not. But some words, like profession or occupation, can be masculine or feminine depending on the subject of the sentence, by assigning gender to certain adjectives and words that describe them. Equality in gender and race has been very difficult to achieve in machine technology situations because these systems are trained on existing content, and are not demographically representative. Google decided to make changes. It is important to adapt and build technology that can better serve humans. What may seem like small changes to everyday life are big steps towards gender equality. The way people speak their respective languages is one of the strongest ways of gender discrimination.
