I posted about gender bias on LinkedIn yesterday. A woman's visibility quadrupled when she pretended to be a man on the platform. My post got 9,000+ impressions so far (<24H). Here's what I didn't expect.

The comment section became the experiment.

A woman posted her own analytics graph showing the exact same pattern. A man told me women complaining about oppression was a contradiction. Another man jumped in to defend the post. A third man said he switched his profile to female and still got low impressions.

The women reacted. The men debated. In a thread about who gets to speak, the pattern played out in real time. I didn't plan it as a social experiment but it became one.
