One Delegate mentioned that “we can’t just make women go into positions in psychology if there are still issues like unequal pay.

Men never allow women to flourish”. The Delegate of China claimed that research has been constantly stolen from female researchers by men; “Are you aware that men view women as ‘emotional’?”. On Saturday, the Council discussed the mental effects of women that had been indoctrinated by youth, along with others, into believing social norms. This has led to infanticide being extremely common in third world countries. The Council also debated about women and how they are often perceived as weak, meaning they are more often than not, excluded from the workforce, and are not offered the same opportunities as men are. This concludes the topic of gender bias in psychology, as well as in our everyday life.
