NEW: Gender Poll

[Scheherazade]

Renewing the poll to see the present distribution of the Forum.

[Virgil]

Well for a change the men are currently even with the women. :wink5:

[Lokasenna]

I'm a certifiable bloke...

[Scheherazade]

Well for a change the men are currently even with the women. :wink5:Not any longer... Though, I was thinking that we had more male members now.

[Virgil]

Not any longer... Though, I was thinking that we had more male members now.

It's always been roughly 2 to 1 women and that's it again as of right now. :wink5:

[BienvenuJDC]

I'm still a male...(don't see me changing that either)

[Maximilianus]

In case I haven't made it clear before, I wish to take this opportunity to certify what an unarguable male I have become, from the womb and all over these years :D

[BienvenuJDC]

Are you implying that the females are arguable?

[Maximilianus]

Are you implying that the females are arguable?
No, no, no :) I am implying that I AM an unarguable male :nod: :thumbsup:

[cgrillo]

With my vote (I'm male, for the record) the poll appears to be tied.

[aliengirl]

With my vote the balance has tilted in the favor of FEMALES. :D

[dafydd manton]

I am unequivocally male, partly because it says so on my Birth Certificate, and largely because my wife and kids have confirmed the fact. Also, I was in the RAF, not the WRAF. QED.

[Pensive]

Female: 18
Male: 18

Now will anybody hate me for breaking the most perfect tie? :p

[DoCho]

Im a dude sup

[Technophile]

Mine is the symbol with the arrow. You do the research!

[Virgil]

Now males outnumber. I wonder if the demographics have shifted here. :D

[SleepyWitch]

Now males outnumber. I wonder if the demographics have shifted here. :D

Nope, it's because I've had a gender reassignment operation :lol: *joking*

[Scheherazade]

*joking*Hey, you got me there for a second!

:p

[Emil Miller]

Shouldn't there be a Neuter in the poll ?

[Delta40]

eh what if I'm neither or not sure????

[SleepyWitch]

yeah, what about me? I'm a complete mess:
- biologically female and have no wish to change that
- married to a man and not beyond ogling other men :D
- my brain is female and regrettably unable to do spatial rotation according to a quiz BBC science
- prefer guy clothes, but lots of people still think I look cute and girly
- prefer to socialize with guys
- feel "gay" when girls talk about handbacks, boy friends etc. (as in
uncomfortably gender-confused and convinced I'm a bloke and shouldn't be
talking about this)

I wanna see you create a poll that covers all those dimensions, otherwise I'll feel discriminated against and sue LitNet ;) *joking*

[Emil Miller]

[QUOTE=SleepyWitch;942861]yeah, what about me? I'm a complete mess:

Ah, but are you sure that he is not beyond ogling ( or even googling ) other women? :ladysman:

[Nick91]

Pretty sure I'm a dude, last time I checked anyways...

[Virgil]

Well, the tide has turned. This used to be a 2/3 female haven. Now it's the other way around. :D

[Roptat Lenz]

I am what I am, and I'm glad I'm a man.

[hoope]

Men are more than teh females.

And even with my post; females are 33 while men are 45 :(

Girls please take the poll .. i know there r more :D

[Patrick_Bateman]

There are more chicas than i thought.

[Olga4real]

I am actually a woman.
I am not happy being called 'female'.

[yuka]

female and married with a baby son :)

[Scheherazade]

I am actually a woman.

Congratulations!

:smilewinkgrin:

"Female" refers to a biological classification and includes a larger group than "woman", which is a social construction and does not include our younger members (pre-teens or teenagers).

[solaris]

female here

[Varenne Rodin]

I am a woman. I have the best natural breasts I have ever seen. They are so perfect that they defy reason. If it seems like I'm bragging, I am.

[Dark Passenger]

^Wow. I work with a guy with breasts just like that.

I'm a guy.

[farnoosh]

Not fair!!! now the male population is bigger than the female population...come on gals!!!!we need 12 more females!!!

[MystyrMystyry]

I am a virile and exceptionally good looking man

[Scheherazade]

I am a virile and exceptionally good looking manWhy did you pick the "Female" option in the poll, then?

[Jozanny]

Sche, you forgot transgender, metrosexual, gay, lesbian, hermaphrodites, and I am toying with a third sex campaign for certain classes of disability. :D

[Emil Miller]

Why did you pick the "Female" option in the poll, then?

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much." :biggrin5:

[Big Dante]

Me be a boy.

[Yorick]

I'm about 99.99% sure I'm a boy.

Lemme check...

Alright. 100% Sure now.

In other news, it's really refreshing to see a website that has such a high percentage of women.

[LongBlade]

I am always a male since I was born.(Nothing to say, beside that.)

[Ravager]

I'm male, have been since birth, and see no need to apologise for said fact. ;)

[Venerable Bede]

I'm a male; surprising to see more males than females on a literature forum. My English classes are always way more girls than guys.

[JanineXD]

I'm a female! :)

[deguonis]

I'M a somewhat young gentleman

[drmazhar]

Hello there I am new to see what all lies here??

[Kundan]

Now the number of males have crossed the number of females by a huge margin

[AjaxAscendant]

Male, weighing in on the Gentlemen's Camp!

[Treebeard]

Male. I'm glad to see that the difference of the amount of males/females is not too big on this forum. I'm sure it's much worse on other ones!

[mina]

Hmm, I am surprised, there are a lot more males than females on this forum.
I always thought that women tend to read more.

[farnoosh]

didn't know men were more interested in books than women...interesting.
maybe cause from the place I am the only one who reads classics is me:(

[tonywalt]

Judas Priest! I never knew that men out numbered women here!

[OrphanPip]

It's still the internet after all.

[tonywalt]

..just thought there would be more women than men on here. It's fine. Each guy has a girl, if we are ever stranded. Wink Orphanpip.

[OrphanPip]

I'm not sure I want the leftovers lol.

[tonywalt]

I'm not sure I want the leftovers lol.

Most of the guys on here are bookish anyway...

[Stewed]

So at least 101 other men read. Who knew?

[Raibean]

There aren't enough options on this poll.

[Scheherazade]

This is indeed a different turn of poll as for years females outnumbered the males on this Forum.

Wonder what is behind the change...

[Stewed]

Female readers tend to have more friends who read than male readers? But then that wouldn't explain it changing. (All I know is I'm one post closer to being able to vote in the classical lit. book club section.)

[odliam]

In the interchange of cultural backgrounds I faced in the world, never found a clearly defined "man" or "woman". There is a predominant gender in a person but always there are some traits from the opposite side (see Schehrezade avatar). :smile5:

So, I guess it would be difficult to determine how much progesterone or testosterone has the forum.

Lets assume half and half, and celebrate!! :drool5:

[Snowqueen]

I wonder! Where are all the girls?

[Scheherazade]

Busy reading, I s'pose. No time for such trivial polls!

:D

[tonywalt]

This begs the question. Why so few book clubs for men? Yet, you see most literature forums half filled with men.

Well wasn't that riveting :rolleyes5:

I'm a woman, lucky me.

So, I guess it would be difficult to determine how much progesterone or testosterone has the forum.Which is why the poll does not ask whether you are a man or woman but simply your gender... Which is a biological classification.

PS: I will be going back to my "avatar" shortly. Worry not. ;)

[colleenma]

Though I kind of believe gender is a spectrum instead of a black and white classifcation, I kind of wonder why it matters what the male to female ratio is of anything. It kind of seems like it's like looking for something to be sexist about. But I'm hypersensitive about these things so feel free to ignore me

[skycloud86]

I am a biological male.

[Hipatia]

One more girl!!

[Prinze Charming]

+1 for Men.

[Rinni Bauri]

Only by a small percent there is an increase in number of men.

For me, this exposed an inner sexism I had. I'd expected to be vastly outnumbered by females, and that assumption was promptly turned on its head.

[anton notna]

Earthlings can only be male or female?

[Books Lover]

I have voted but I could not understand what's the reason behind this voting?
