    Oh no it's not. Most people are aware that they're biased in some way.

    Although in whatever the matter at hand is they won't admit their bias affects what they say, do or think.

    I know we're drifting away from Mary and her hated occupations but I don't think most people are aware they're biased in some way. I would've thought most people think their decision making processes are entirely rational.

    I do have a gender bias.

    I think women make better housing selections than men. You only have to see the number of women on these property programs to realise that people like Sarah Beeny are successful for a reason.

    Sarah Beeny is a good example. I don't know if she's a success because of her property investment or TV presenting but just look how much attention is given to the size of her knockers.

    No equally talented male would have to deal with such disrespect.

    People go into fine detail thinking about adjectives to describe Kirstie Allsop's appearance but someone like Laurence Llewellyn Bowen is just flamboyant.
