Launching the Stereotype Atlas

Today we published the first 12 entries of the Stereotype Atlas — a long-running project to catalog stereotypes about women with primary-source data behind every claim. The first batch covers driving, math, emotion, negotiation, leadership, crying, and seven others. Each entry assigns one of six verdicts (debunked, mostly myth, mixed, partially supported, supported with context, insufficient data) based on the consensus of the cited data. The Atlas is the research spine of everything else we publish.
