I don't believe that 97% number. That's ridiculousness! Think about how many females have worked for ZDTV, TechTV, Leo's Canadian shows, TWIT, Amber's shows...they're rich in female talent. I have to believe there's more than 3% interest in Twit. I'm a female and I listen to most of the Twit shows, Cranky Geeks, DL.TV, and the Cnet shows.
Dang, where were all the geekettes at before I got married??? ;P Well its good to know that there are quite a few female counterparts to all the testosterone laden usuals around this place ;) You know maybe Leo should do a TWiT to spotlight the geekettes out there!!
Of course, my secret motive in my challenge was to get every twit-ette to reveal herself. And it worked! Bwa-ha-ha. Everything is proceeding according to my evil plan!
And if anyone cares, I'm still single. Some will say "of course, and we even understand why!"

/me is very confused. Are you talking about the numbers Dvorak was throwing around?

I think she is talking about what Leo said in TWiT 100 about his audience being 90- something % men. I am a girl and I love TWiT too. :)

OK, unless another 100 women chime in within the next 20 minutes, the 3% figure is still safe. :) TWiT has over 10K downloaders each week.

I have been a TWIT fan from the beginning. Yes, I am a geek, and I am a woman.

By the by, I miss Kate Botello.

There's a difference between people (talent) working in TV and fans of the show though. The figure was about fans of the show.
2 years, 5 months ago by merlyn
Not in the slightest. Just that you can't draw any conclusions about gender ratio of on-air talent related to the gender ratio of the audience.
