one interesting one was that I took 5000 twitter profile photos and averaged the pixel values by male / female. unsurprisingly, the male average had short hair while the woman long. but what did surprise me was that the shirt area of the males had a blue hue and the women had a red one. its not like anyone in particular was wearing red/blue by sex, but on average they were.

- tejtm 8y agoYou can likely change the apparent gender by increasing/decreasing contrast with high contrast looking more F and low contrast looking more M would be fun to see if the high contrast M v.s the low contrast F maintained apparent gender

- lupire 8y agoIt's interesting that the hair-length stereotype was surprising to you, but the clothing color stereotype wasn't. Clothing color is stereotyped even before babies start to grow hair, as a way of signaling gender.
