Chart: use of "penis" and "vagina" ranked by ratio

[Permalink]

Pretty sure the chart misses the thousands of (well, maybe not thousands) of Gawker “Is this a dick?” posts because it is based on the actual word “penis” and not variants. Shrug.

Even BusinessWeek uses “vagina” more often that the DrudgeReport, which is a 100% sausage-fest.


UPDATE: the original source notes

The data in that chart came from computers, but I wouldn’t go citing it all around town. For example the DrudgeReport.com ratio is so high because there are only a handful of results for those searches — and Drudge doesn’t appear to be indexed by Bing. Businessweek seems be indexing a “most cited story” that appeared on lots of pages and included the word “penis.” And so forth. The outliers are suspect; things closer to the median less so.

I like the mirror image between Elle and Vogue. I assumed they were pretty much the same magazine, but apparently not!

Mildly surprised that Reuters has such a high Vagina-ratio.

Weather.com seems like a strange place for either penis or vagina comments.

So how many uses of vulva, or labia?

Where does Boing Boing fall in the “cats are jerks” vs “dogs are bros” issue?

Someone needs to send an emergency supply of penises to India, stat.

Well, that’s just a load of bollocks.

I’m surprised to see such a stark gulf between hacker news and slashdot.

Fumbles, it was always Fumbles…

It nice to see en.wikipedia as exactly balanced.

So… lots more vaginas on BoingBoing?

…or just not so many dicks?
