    Did the authors just leave it up to us to figure out the X axis?

    Also, I notice “comics” skews different from “manga”. Interesting.

      Male-Female Log Odds Ratio

      It means log(males/females). Base 10 I suppose (not relevant to the visual)

        I think its actually gender color coded. The “male” side leans blue-ish, with the “female” side leaning towards pink.

        Using controversial forced gender roles colors as a axis is certainly a choice.

          The whole study (behavior+gender correlation) is biased. I didn’t see the colors on the other screen anyway.

          For the case you had issues with understanding the log thing:

          • log(males/females) = -2 means 1:100
          • log(males/females) = -1 means 1:10
          • log(males/females) = 0 means 1:1
          • log(males/females) = 1 means 10:1

      Manga is actually pretty gender neutral nowadays, but that’s probably because “manga” is really a supset. For every sci-fi/fantasy/superhero manga there is a romance/magical-girl/etc manga. So basically manga contains a subset of all the same genres we see in the diagram.

      Additionally by breaking up graphic novels, comics, and manga you’re probably splitting the “male” readership up more letting manga have a “female” bias.

    ha i was like, wtf is ‘chick lit’? isnt that a gum??

    from wikipedia

    “Chick lit” is a term used to describe a type of popular fiction targeted at women. Widely used in the 1990s and 2000s,[1] the term has fallen out of fashion with publishers,[2] with numerous writers and critics rejecting it as inherently sexist.[3] Novels identified as chick lit typically address romantic relationships, female friendships, and workplace struggles in humorous and lighthearted ways.[4] Typical protagonists are urban, heterosexual women in their late twenties and early thirties:[5][6] the 1990s chick lit heroine represented an evolution of the traditional romantic heroine in her assertiveness, financial independence and enthusiasm for conspicuous consumption
