That "study" is ridiculously flawed; they couldn't find a real paper arguing their point (noted in the article), so they invented a unrealistic scenario and used that. Nobody sane hires based entirely upon a piece of paper without meeting the person beforehand. It's absurd. They asked faculty members (not the people who would actually hire) to pick between two identical on-paper only people without being able to acquire more information or meet them in an interview setting, so of course they're going to decide between them based on superficial reasons. That is not evidence of discrimination in hiring processes, it's evidence of a flame-bait article.
It may be that women can be privileged in hiring scenarios (for affirmative action or other reasons), but you'll need to provide an actual scientific study that argues that.
