Is it just my confirmation bias, অথবা do we disproportionality call female politicians দ্বারা their first names rather than surnames?
So this is a hot take that I'm not sure I even believe myself, but I noticed this around the 2016 US election. I bit my tongue on it then, as most people on this site seem to immediately dismiss anything that could be vaguely construed as pro-Clinton (not that I'm still salty about the 2016 election আরো than three years later... ahem)
People seem less likely to refer to female politicians only using their surnames - they'll use both their first name and surname, অথবা their first name only. Hillary Clinton was most commonly just 'Hillary', Jacinta Arden is commonly named in full rather than just 'Arden', same goes for Julia Gillard and Angela Merkel. Compare this to Trump, Trudeau, Abbott, Macron. Am I delusional? And if not, is this gender bias a problem?
