There is Incompetent, Weakling, doormat, wuss all goes to images of men.
ImageNet reflect the unfortunate reality of how our society perceives gender roles. You ask it to produce a image of an antagonist, you get a male picture. A lover and you get a picture of a woman. A foolish woman and you get a woman, a incompetent man and you get a man. A good person and you get a mix of women and men. A bad person and its all men.
If we had a person look at the category titles and just guess based on gender roles what the gender would be, I think we would see a rate of 90% or higher in correct guesses. At this point we have not yet introduced the AI or any potential bias that AI can have.
