Why shopping and facebook? Both of those seem to favor women over men (in time spent, not in % who have accounts)... What about hacker news, prog.reddit, github, LtU, Lostpedia, porn, news.google.com, etc? Factor those in, and the numbers might come out quite different.
What about programming projects that I happen to be reading/forking/coding which are unrelated to work? From my anecdotal experience (mostly in software development), women focus significantly better than men on the work-related tasks.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoFrom the article: "Men have their distractions, too. They spend about 15% more of their time reading the news than women." It would have been useful if the article indicated how much time is actually spent on news sites, rather than simply the relative differences.
- webwright 17y agoTo add to your response: we didn't put it in the post, but the stats on the "reference" category (where things like dictionaries and code resources live) were pretty close (7.41% for women, 7.15% for me).
