I realized that when I read posts on the internet, it's usually in an internal male voice. Which makes sense for most boards on 4chan, as majority are males. But cooking is feminine traditionally, and I haven't been here for that long. I automatically default to assuming every post is masculine. So what's the approx female/male ratio in this place?

Chefs are male.

I dimly remember someone saying (super scientific, I know) that the male/female ratio across 4chan wasn't as skewed as you might think, something like 60/40.
Of course, this might be bullshit, but when you really look at thread convos you can usually guess the gender and that ratio seems about right, although obviously there is no way to confirm, confirmation bias, etc etc.

more likely 80/20, or even 70/30

>> No.4055252

Well, it depends on the board. 70/30 might be more likely but I definitely remember it being surprisingly high on women given the average wizard neckbeard treehouse mentality of the busier boards.
God only knows what somewhere like /cgl/ does to the stats.

I always read them with Ed Wood's voicover from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Makes even the simplest of meals seem kitsch but otherworldly.

/cgl/ actually has a much higher male population than one would think.

>> No.4055791

why not just do a stat thread

male here

>> No.4055798

Fuck, I've never heard voices when reading until you said that. Well, other than when someone posts a celebrity picture and impersonation.

>> No.4055800

I read things in my own voice unless the poster specifies otherwise.

>> No.4055806

check you're male privilege OP.

>> No.4055827

>feminine traditionally

Look up the chefs of the Imperial Court of China. Men, and it goes back a very, very long way. Men have had just a prominent role in cooking as women historically, it's not all cavemen and hunter/gatherers to Victorian ideals.

Your ideas that it's traditionally feminine comes from those Victorian ideals, not reality.
