I always hated these kinds of experiments to try and prove sexism as a social construct. They are poorly controlled and don't account for other social factors that affect behavior.

@EmmTrain the point up the experiment was to c how many were going to follow the signs as if they were being told that's what they have to do like if a woman should be a housewife instead of having a job and making more money than a man

Interesting.
Do they realize the door leads to the same place?

What the should have done was put up a ink blot with the line through it (like the no parking sign) on one door and a different ink blot on the other door.

I am not sure this experiment is valid. Here, you are given signs by an institution (in which you are walking into). You are not making choice, the institution made it. This is a "trust" thing. Although the absurd is obvious and these doors make no sense, maybe if I walk through the wrong one I will suffer repercussions.

This is just like the signs on bathrooms. Males don't go into the females' washroom and females don't go into the males' washroom.

@chaz2290 they would probably walk in the gender door that they were born with and then walk out the other gender door lol |
