The types of rhetoric used in the sentence are logos and inductive reasoning.

Logos refers to the use of logical and factual arguments to support a claim, and this can be seen in the author's use of the Fortune study as evidence to support their argument about the gender problem in journalism.

Inductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions based on specific examples or observations, and this is evident in the author's use of the specific words found in performance reviews to illustrate the gender bias present in the industry.
