Okay so these numbers don't jive with the post. The author correlates a 1-5 male to female. That would have to have 80% of women and 20% men reading difference.
Also the study your citing a study is based on "fiction". There is a world of difference between stating "Women read more" and "Women read more fiction".
Most couples I'm acquainted with the males and females read about the same. But the females mostly read fiction where the males read a mix of the two.
Me personally I read 2 non fictions to one fiction.
Which brings me back to my original premise the OP is not doing an all encompassing evaluation, s/he made an observation based on the genre(s) the OP reads.
