This feels like a reflection of social norms... most (but not all) female words are related to fashion and most (but not all) male words are related to STEM. I do think it's weird that words like "yakuza", "katana", and "bushido" (which are related to Japanese culture) are more common among men; is this an effect of, for lack of a better word, weeb/anime culture among men?
I'm surprised that "verbena" is so low on the list; I found it to be a really common scent especially in hair products (specifically lemon verbena). Maybe that's my female bias?
- elboru 5y agoNot only anime. As a kid American shows and movies were full on “ninjas” and “karate”. My favorite cartoon was TMNT and one my favorite movies was Karate kid.
- emptysea 5y agoI think yakuza, katana, and bushido have less to do with weeb/anime culture than video games and movies. I bet yakuza, katana, and bushido could all be picked up watching Kill Bill & playing some Call of Duty set in WW2.
