    Does that mean skill was in fact not correlated?

Yes, for the sexist statements. It was the negative statements where they found the effect. They only had about 10 or so instances of sexist comments anyway so it's pretty difficult to tell. So it's more about general negativity towards females instead of 'outright' sexism.
