MAPPING THE BINARY
ยทUpdated:
·

There's no room in 2017 for discourse along the lines of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus-style gender reductionism, but you know what is worth checking out? Population data.

This map of America shows the male/female sex ratio for all the states and counties โ€” no commentary, just the split (pinker: more female; bluer: more male). It's worth noting that, at a glance, the most populous counties in America seem to tilt towards female. Take a look at the map and ask yourself โ€” "who run the world?"

You can poke around at an interactive version of the map here, letting you look at Alaska and Hawaii, zero-in on your own state and county, and divvy up the population into different age groups.
