Huh. Given selection bias from the people who follow you I am surprised by the gender mismatch here (early results)

Gender mismatch being how men and women are answering differently? Why is that surprising?

without seeing the results of this, I expected the results to be mostly dictated by selection bias, and that "follows Aella" to be a stronger selection filter than "man or woman"

So if selection is pushing for similarity, the fact that men and women are answering differently makes it more surprising to me Idk if this is the right way to think about it but it stuck out to me

Ah; so you figured something about people following me would also select for BDSM preference/antipreference, surpassing gender?

That's correct. And either it didn't, which would be interesting, OR IT DID and the results are STILL skewing fascinating either way

Ah I see. I *do* think this is true with a lot of things; both men and women are skewed in lots of answers due to following me, but it's mostly skewed re: ways I'm very different from other people, and I'm not like a "bdsm" account or anything.
