As I pointed out in my other reply [1], this is polls asking women if they think they have been discriminated against, it's measuring perceptions of discrimination. It's not measuring discrimination.

If I poll orchestra members and a lot more men say the face discrimination in hiring, but when I conduct blind auditions men do even worse what does that tell me? Or tells me that their perceptions of discrimination are out of line with the reality of discrimination.
