What i find interesting about this is that it shows women are more willing to read a broad range than men.
Men group together on a smaller set of genres, but it seems like the women don't mind reading more typically male genres.

>more femoids do read philosophy, than man classics

More women use GR than men. This chart is useless.

Goodreads is basic bitch tumblrite and söyboy central, its stats aren't too relevant for measuring anything.

you mean more women are more willing to scan their useless cow eyes blankly over a page causing nothing to happen in their empty skulls, then they proceed to leave the cliff notes summary as a'review'

If we adjust for sampling-inequality, how would the graph look? Just the bottom 3 rectangles for women equals the top 6 rectangles for men

>> No.21660208

>>21658949

This chart is really just another way of modeling the intelligence bell curves for men and women as two separate groups, which is not to say that women are dumb, but simply that they are on average more mediocre.

Prove it. Post your favorite 3 (three) bookmarks

>>21659051
that's a good point!
Women's tail end is at 50% than their main genre while men's is 10% or even less.
Another thing is how different in taste are the two. The disparity is to the point men's favourite genre is women's least favourite and vice versa

>> No.21660898

Actually, the difference is opinion is so distinct it's suspicious. The favorisim tiers are literally ordered the exact opposite. If the paper is not faking that's impressive

Those philosophy and science fiction stats garner hope for my heart.
Though I worry what they might consider a philosophical work just as I worry what kind of science fiction the more gentle sex might prefer.

Cow eyes are so cute though. It also warms my heart thinking of a pretty girl with big eyes.

I'm also dumbfounded. Perhaps historical romance means something else on goodreads.

>> No.21661026

>>21661003
Cow eyes is a worthless insult, because it's targeted mostly at good looking and moral women. Maybe the type of men who like crazy bitches invented it, if two persons with the same sickness meet they don't get intimidated by each other's gaze.

The fact that there's so many women compared to men goes to show that they view reading as social clout.

it's percentage ratio of reviews, not disparity of opinions (60% reviews of philosophy books are written by men and the remaining 40% by women, this is what the graph says, it's the same data on both bars but reversed, nothing impressive or suspicious about that)

>> No.21661542

who gives a shit
women dont even write real reviews
it's either a wikipedia outline of the story or seething that the author committed badthink.

I primarily use Goodreads to keep track of what I read and to chuckle at seething reviews
