>Research Finds No Gender Bias in Academic Science
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/diversity-equity/2023/04/27/research-finds-no-gender-bias-academic-science

Reviewing decades of studies, researchers with “adversarial” perspectives conclude that tenure-track women and men in STEM receive comparable grant funding, journal acceptances and recommendation letters—and that women have an edge over men in hiring.

Claims of widespread gender bias in tenure-track hiring, grant funding and journal acceptances in the academic sciences are not supported by the data, a new study finds.

The paper published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest looked at two decades of research regarding biases that tenure-track women have faced since 2000. In the end, the authors determined tenure-track women in science, technology, engineering or math were at parity with men in tenure-track positions in the same fields when it comes to grant funding, journal acceptances and recommendation letters.

Women did have an advantage in the hiring process for the tenure-track jobs, though the evidence did show a bias against women in teaching evaluations and salaries. The salary gap, according to the report, was concerning but smaller than the oft-quoted statistic that women in STEM fields make 82 cents for every dollar that men earn. On average, the gap was 9 cents on the dollar, although the gap shrank to less than 4 cents when controlling for experience, type of institution and productivity, among other factors.

and then they stopped looking for more factors to control for, lest they come to the conclusion thatthe wage gap is a myth entirely based on the fallacy of comparing apples to oranges i.e. not controlling for all factors. that would have been bad and would have led to the researchers being cancelled.

Blind recruitment trial to boost gender equality making things worse, study reveals
https://archive.is/rCfMx
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-trial-to-improve-gender-equality-failing-study/8664888
>A measure aimed at boosting female employment in the workforce may actually be making it worse, a major study has found.
Leaders of the Australian public service will today be told to "hit pause" on blind recruitment trials, which many believed would increase the number of women in senior positions.
Blind recruitment means recruiters cannot tell the gender of candidates because those details are removed from applications.
It is seen as an alternative to gender quotas and has also been embraced by Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Victoria Police and Westpac Bank.
In a bid to eliminate sexism, thousands of public servants have been told to pick recruits who have had all mention of their gender and ethnic background stripped from their CVs.
The assumption behind the trial is that management will hire more women when they can only consider the professional merits of candidates.
Their choices have been monitored by behavioural economists in the Prime Minister's department — colloquially known as "the nudge unit".
Professor Michael Hiscox, the former Harvard academic who oversaw the trial, said he was shocked by the results and has urged caution.
"We anticipated this would have a positive impact on diversity — making it more likely that female candidates and those from ethnic minorities are selected for the shortlist," he said.

The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.

Everyone in STEM knew that. This is only a surprise for people outside of the fields (e.g. feminist activists demanding for more women in STEM).

And yes, some women in STEM also buy that crap that the field is sexist, but they know it's bullshit. They only support these claims because it's bs that benefits them.

So women get preferential treatment in hiring, i.e., less competent women are hired over men, and then they think it's discrimination that women also get lower scores in teaching evaluations, and this makes the net discrimination even? Did I understand this correctly?

It could be a bias or it could be unbiased.
It could just be a recount of the hiring bias (the hiring bias in favor of women might be letting in lower quality that is then reflected in student ratings).
It could be a bias on the part of students (they might just have something against women).
Or it could just be that women are worse at teaching.

If you use the prejudice definition of bias then the last one doesn't count as bias.
If you use the statistics definition of bias then the disparity in outcome is a bias regardless of cause.

Abstract:
In most European universities, today the overall share of female bachelor’s degrees is more
than 50 percent but drops at the level of full professors to about 25 percent. This phenomenon
is called Leaky Pipeline. Most explanations refer to gender norms, motherhood, implicit or
explicit sexism, and “tokenism”. We take a novel approach, comparing the Leaky Pipeline
across various study fields in the two biggest Swiss Universities. We start with the popular
Token hypothesis of Rosabeth Moss Kanter, that women suffer from their minority position.
According to this hypothesis, it is expected that the higher the women´s share in a study field
the less pronounced the Leaky Pipeline. In contrast, the Self-Selection hypothesis and the Status
Group hypothesis lead to different expectations: The higher the women´s share in a study field
the more pronounced the Leaky Pipeline. Our data clearly reject the Token hypothesis. To test
the second and the third hypotheses, we conduct a representative survey at the two Swiss
Universities. We find strong evidence for Self-Selection effects, but no discrimination
according to a Status Group effect. We show that men and women in different fields of study
have different career motivations, family aspirations, and resources, which shape their career
and family dynamics and thus the observed Leaky Pipeline differently across disciplines. These
dynamics are reinforced by partner choice as women in female-dominated fields tend to match
with men in male-dominated fields, and vice versa. Our findings may explain why many of the
current measures to mitigate the Leaky Pipeline – in particular quota - are not effective.

Nah, they should not favor any gender, they should favor the capable ones without care for gender. This will lead to a steady balance of genders made from their ability to do the work. Otherwise you are not using some of the full capacity of the society.
