While what I'm about to say is anecdotal, I think most people have experienced this, either themselves, or recounts from friends and family.

Things such as kindergarten, secretary, a lot of jobs where you interact with the public favor female employees over males, such as receptionists. Just to name a few.

>"There was no evidence of discrimination against women in male-dominated professions or in mixed-gender professions, but the researchers did find evidence of discrimination against men in female-dominated professions."

Again, anecdotal, but I've seen discrimination from places like the military, construction work, police work to name a few.

I don't think we needed a study to state the obvious, but I guess it helps creating more conversations about the topic.
