Reply to comment by TachyCardio in [OC] Sex Ratio Imbalances in Persian Gulf Countries by kgunnar
Perhaps but I think one thing to realize is that the countries that the migrant workers come from are for the most part far far more populated. The country that sends the most migrant workers is india, and the 5-6 million that they send represents a huge slice of the population in places like Qatar, UAE, etc but are less than 1% of indias own population

Reply to [OC] Gendered Movie Favorites: The favorite movies of Letterboxd users broken down by the pronouns they selected for their account by throwbarrieaway
I enjoyed this graphic! I think you have to read it with the methodology clear in mind but its interesting to see. This is the link in the post, which links to the three lists OP pulled from.
I went to make a profile to see how this works, and some context. As OP notes, when you make a profile, you can add up to four favorite films -- the lists are based on counting up people's favorite films. Also OP explain in a another comment the website never asks for your gender -- if you go to your profile, its default they/their -- as in "u/baydew listed Spirited Away as their favorite film" -- which is usually how websites refer to their users in automated messages. You can change this to another pronoun set in your profile if you choose to ('her', 'his', 'xe', 'ze'. also 'it' is on the list?..)
Most people probably don't touch this setting at all, but as you can see of people who do change their pronouns, those who pick 'she' do watch a different set of films from 'he'. I think its hard to interpret 'ze/xe' -- for example, I dont think its unreasonable to believe that a good chunk of 'ze/xe' are boys being silly, especially since they/their is already the default and usually the most popular choice for non-binary pronouns in most surveys by far.
Finally, I'll note that based on the lists, two movies with very large gender gaps between 'He' and 'She' are:
