95.7% ~~of men who responded said no~~ of those responding as men said no
60.9% ~~of women who responded said no~~ of those responding as women said no
Eta: fixed phrasing to show that reported gender/sex may not be accurate
That is assuming of course that all the women who said yes are in fact people being truthful and not creeps 'as-a-black-man'ing.
Since they're following the guy, I'm pretty suspicious of that polling regardless.
Also keep in mind that the normative number of people voting as women is drastically lower thereby significantly manipulating the actual ratio. This is, even when everyone would actually answer truthfully, by no means a factual representation
Isn't gender always self reported in these kind of questionnaires?
Given the nature of the post and that its in Twitter, I would expect the number of people voting as a gender/sex they do not identify with to be higher then if it were conducted elsewhere
