Know: 10 of the M, 5 of the F Heard of: 13 of the M, 11 of the F — mostly from knowing @zoeglorious
Are you a man or a woman?
how about adding parallel parking to the list 🤣🤣🤣
Not saying it was the intent of the tweet but stuff like this reinforces the “men are better suited to science and maths, women stay obsessing over fashion” false narrative thats really harmful for getting young girls/women into STEM and maths-based subjec
It's clear that the issue was the women were living in Regency England and the men were living in Cyberpunk 2077
I know about a 3rd of each list, proving I am a Proper Enby 😌😌😌 (This list is the dumbest thing i ever saw)
Genuinely never seen a single one of these https://t.co/llGp8uETvE
getting that slur representation makes me feel like one hot shemalé 💅🏻
A LOT GOING ON
CW for a transphobic slur here! I got 9 of the words more men tend to know and all 20 of the words more women know but some of my definitions are pretty flimsy. Also clearly this wasn't the Australian meaning of 'servo' but I took the win anyway

So, they're not really "obscure". This paper by Marc Brysbaert et al does a nice job of giving a crowdsourced estimate of the fraction of people who know a word, which is closer to what I'm thinking when I say "obscure". https://t.co/dY7aqTMLQP 2/7

Good news! I'm a dude.
This is a really weird set of words. Lots of occupation-related words on the male side. Lots of clothing/sewing and beauty words on the female.

Men stuff: guns, physics and engineering stuff, computer stuff, blades. Women stuff: I… have literally no idea what any of it is.
Lol, I know all of these words. But then, I grew up in the South surrounded by very girly southern women, but went on to major in computer engineering with an EE minor. Had to walk BFF through the women's list last night - many of them are fabrics.

Well I’ll be a monkey’s peplum
At first thought the inclusion of 'peplum' on the female side of the list meant that a lot of women were really into Italian sword-and-sandal movies.
I refuse to accept any of the "female" words are real and not simply made up as a prank. I am available to explain how ailerons are used during strafing.
Fuck my fucking life, I know almost all of the words on the left and like none on the right

there’s a few of these that I know know but there’s a lot more that I recognize & have an idea of what they mean. but it’s 13 on the left & 5 on the right. somebody in the replies said this is a work-experience thing being related to gender & I

19/20 male words 7/20 female for me
19/20 "feminine socialised" words (I had to look up boucle - ugly chairs. UGLY) and 11/20 "masculine socialised" words (the weeaboo ones and some of the computing terms ... and the military/naval ones)
