    Hahaha, per-maybe-haps, I'm thinking. I was quite the cheeky one, wasn't I?

    So what exactly do the results mean? More girls read? More girls hang out in places to talk about reading? Men have better things to do?

    Those and more girls are computer-literate enough to survive in forums as ours?

    Actually I think the men are catching up. I think there used to be more of a spread.

    Hardly. I've been on forums with a boy:girl ratio of probably 100:1. The only thing this polls represents is that women are more likely to participate in silly polls.

    I think women are more comfortable with their love of literature, since stereotypically men are the "science and math" experts and women are the "reading and writing" ones. Of course, as the years pass by these stereotypes diminish, which is always a great thing And hopefully something that is reflected on litnet.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    I don't really fit into that stereotype (math/science expert). Even though Math is undoubtably my best subject, English is undoubtedly my second.

    Math was my best subject in school....as well as motherhubbards and we're both females. I sucked at science, I will admit and wasn't that great at English either.

    Stereotype, as you say. Women are equally good at maths and physics if they care to try

    Theres no real competition here. Women will catch up now they're allowed to and be as good at lying politely and killing as guys.
