Are women better lawmakers than men? A nuanced yes, VCU researcher finds

Article here. Excerpt:
'A new study from Virginia Commonwealth University researcher Jatia Wrighten, Ph.D., and colleagues finds that women are more effective lawmakers than men when serving in professional state legislatures, which are generally in session full-time, than when serving in part-time legislatures that have lower barriers to entry, lower salaries and fewer staff.'

But of course!
In today's academic world a "study" like this has a foregone conclusion: OF COURSE *women* are _soooo much better_ than men at, what else, making laws (that work against men's interests), and otherwise going around and telling people what to do.
You'd be crazy NOT to see it!
indeed
When I see a title like this, I don't even bother to read the article. What are the odds that the answer to the question would be "No, in fact men are better" ? For similar reasons, I would never read an article titled, "Are men better lawmakers than women?" You know which way the bias goes, so without even reading it you would know that the answer is based on a foregone conclusion.
