What Does Google Really Think Of Women?

Women need to...

women search on google

What does Google think of women? The UN has a fair idea, according to an article in TIME. In order to highlight global inequalities when it comes to gender, the organization has launched a powerful ad campaign based on data collected from the most popular items plugged into the search engine giant. 

Ever start to type a query only to have your search engine predict the rest of the text for you? Well, look what happens when Mister Google tries to finish the following sentence about women: 

Women need to...
 
  • be put in their place
  • know their place
  • be controlled
  • be disciplined

It's a stark contrast to the intended message: Women need to... be seen as equal.

So much for equality. Google exposes the ugly thoughts lurking in the minds of many.
