    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Directional comparisons are often used to express similarity\n(e.g., “North Korea is like China”). These statements,\nhowever, frame the subject as the less typical figure and the\ncomplement as the more typical or prominent ground. Thus,\ndespite expressing similarity, directional comparisons may\nimply that the ground is more representative. In Study 1, we\nanalyze Twitter to show that directional comparisons occur in\neveryday conversation about gender; that men are the ground\nmore often than women; and that only males frequently serve\nas the ground for positive traits (e.g., “Girls are as smart as\nboys”), suggesting that positive traits are considered typical\nof males, but not females. In Study 2, we show that\ndirectional comparisons intended to express equivalent ability\n(e.g., “Boys are as good as girls at a game called gorp”) cause\nadults to infer that the ground has more natural skill and that\nthe figure has to work harder.",
