You are entirely right about that Alison.

I'm so curious to see what search terms people are using. Virtually every
negative term I could think of was used much more frequently for women.
Except for 'boring'--that's correlated more highly to men--but not by very
much.

'Sarcastic' also correlates more highly to men. 'Unhappy' to women. I am
going to have a hard time getting any work done today--this is too
fascinating.
