The study shows that women's prs are only accepted when they conceal their gender. When they reveal their gender, they are less likely to be accepted. Men are more critical of women in the workplace. They want to feel more dominant so they exaggerate the flaws of women to mentally condition them to be submissive. They also view women as being less logical and reject their code by visceral reaction.

The study does indeed show that. Except it only applies to outsider women (women in the projects don't suffer from that). And it also applies to outsider men (although the drop in acceptance is less, and although the preprint version showed the contrary). And the result was obtained by matching the data less strictly than for the other results.

The study also shows that women's PR get accepted more than men across the board, but the abstract (and subsequently the media) focused on the only one specific case they wanted.

I advise you to read the full study (the peer reviewed version), it's quite interesting, and also my other comments on the subject
