Gender Bias Detection Tool

Inspiration

Being a girl that who is interested in coding and has done research in the gender disparity in STEM subjects, I became inspired to create a project that addresses this predicament.

What it does

Utilizing Java, this code scans input from company job postings and literature, then detects bias language such as male pronouns and suggests a gender neutral alternative.

How we built it

I built this using a scanner for input and a string of biased words. If any bias was detected the code would print that there was bias found and address the bias term. Next, using if else statements, the code goes through the words in the string and once it find the bias term using biasedword.equals() code, it prints the correction.
