Funniest footnote I've ever read in a paper:
"8. At the request of an anonymous referee, we perform a check on our nominal
masculinity measure by examining the score for Bacon Magazine’s “Top 10 Stripper
Names.” In theory, female exotic dancers choose hyper-feminized stage names. Only two
of those names, Candy and Porsche, had a nominal masculinity of 0. Three other names
had nominal masculinity names below the mean female voter. Two other names on the
list actually scored quite high in nominal masculinity; Angel had a nominal masculinity
of 0.15 (due to its popularity among Spanish speakers as a boy’s name) and Houston had
a nominal masculinity of 0.98. These findings suggest the potential for further research,
which is beyond the scope of this paper."
