Claims
Cultural double standards thus pass from media representation into dataset labels, feature weights, and model attention, producing two representational harms: hyper-scrutiny of women under a narrow evaluative template, and exclusion of older men from the scheme entirely.
The premise that hierarchical clustering of the 39 attributes, SHAP effects, and Grad-CAM attention maps can be directly interpreted as evidence of cultural archetypes and double standards without substantial confounding from dataset collection processes or model architecture choices. This enters in the alignment of clusters with performative femininity and professional masculinity and in the cultural reading of attention shifts.
CelebA encodes gendered double standards of ageing and beauty that produce hyper-scrutiny of women and categorical exclusion of older men across labels, feature weights, and spatial attention.
