There's a thread asking this (again)

here

- so here is a poll - again.

Assuming you read tarot - are you a man or a woman (if transgender, please just vote other and post; this is just a headcount, not a "discussion" ! Discussion in the other thread would be lovely.

I'm going to guess more women do use tarot then men. However, I use to go to a man who read tarot many years ago and he was THE BEST tarot card reader! Always missed him when he moved away.

It'll be interesting to see with your poll the ratio here though.

I've just voted and at the moment both sexes are in joint lead, this will be interesting to watch over the next few days.

celticnoodle, as a woman in software engineering I've had a similar experience; that is, women are far outnumbered by men, but the few women there are seem to be very good at what they do. I think this is probably a typical property of strongly gender biased communities. My explanation is that members of the less common gender only enter the community in the first place if they really love it and are really good at it.

Why does everyone have to over-analyse this? Is it so important? Will the world end next week before we come to the final answer? I feel the 'other' thread is a wasteful exercise in nothingness, and the more we have to 'define' what we mean by voting this way or that just compounds and expands the problem rather than clarifying it.

Is the world predicated upon such tiny terms as these?

One of the things I got out of this poll is: men enjoy doing short polls more then women.

No, it isn't, but hopefully having an admittedly small amount of "hard" data to balance against the unprovable rhetoric will bring that "other thread" to an end.

IMHO ~ the 'other' thread needed to be ended after the first post.

So, what do we 'prove' when we discover that 90% of card readers are women QED so it skews the results that more women use Tarot than the 10% men that do?
