The aim of these scholars has for the most part been to explain the occurrence of such implicit biases in terms of so-called implicit attitudes\, and to establish the nature of these implicit attitudes. As a result\, the nature of the implicitly biased behavior\, what the person actually does\, says\, feels\, or thinks\, is made sense of in terms of the implicit attitude: the behavior is implicitly biased\, because the attitude is implicit and biased. This line of reasoning\, I argue\, is problematic: after all\, what has drawn our attention to the issue in the first place is the fact that a person expresses herself in an implicitly biased manner\, and only after that we ascribe an implicit attitude to this person. My proposal\, therefore\, is to pay more attention to the nature of implicitly biased behavior. In my talk I discuss some recent proposals in which implicitly biased behavior plays a more central role\, and examine their strengths and limitations. After that\, I give my own account\, which is based on the notion ‘acting under a description’: I propose that a person is explicitly sexist if she acts under a sexist description and is implicitly sexist if she is not acting under that description\, but merely expresses sexism in the way in which she behaves and decides. On the basis of that\, I distinguish three ways in which a person can be implicitly biased.
