Yesterday I realised that the only two (!
) women I have in my follow list are @reasonisfun and @jk_rowling.
That needs to change. Please introduce me to some great female tweeters!

On my quest to bring more women into my follow list, I found out that my favourite follows (male) also follow mainly men.

I also realised that even the women I follow (AND the women who follow the men I follow), have a huge gap in their ratio of male and female follows. Favouring men.

And I noticed how conservative my follows are. Which surprises me since - while I don't want to categorise myself to begin with - I consider myself anything but conservative in most regards... Really interesting and something I want to explore more.

Likewise! Would be interesting to see whether the conservative ratio of my followers matches the general ratio of conservative leaning people on Twitter, but I doubt that's the case Or perhaps the personality type those political leanings attract make for louder voices on my TL?

That's interesting! I can't find any statistics at first glance, though. Got resources? Also I feel like my follows aren't 100% conservative. But looking through THEIR follows makes me look at some of their tweets quite differently...

Though, I've noticed quite soon, that I felt like removing some voices from my stream who were promoting masculinity to an extent that seemed unhealthy to me. It's an incredibly thin line!

Unsure if there's stats on this. Will have to look it up. Ive been pruning too. Too much ideology and extreme reactive regression of ideas. Never did I thinm I'd see so many 'women should be in the kitchen' tweets in my life
