    I know the ideal is a 50/50 split, but I think it’s nothing short of miraculous that 26% of respondents identify as women, and I think it’s really, really cool that the number is so high. Kick ass!

      Unfortunately you need to read the paragraph above - only the 14% who answered yes are included. So it’s 26% of those 14%, so it’s more like 3.6%…

      However it’s worth noting that there could be women who did not answer yes to the marginalised group question so it’s probably more than that.

        Ah, you’re right! I didn’t even realize “woman” was on the list of marginalized groups. Guess that says something about me… Thanks for clearing up the confusion!

        Yeah I don’t think it’s a very good estimate. The vast majority of women I know don’t consider themselves marginalized because of their gender.

        Wow, that was not at all clear. I was shocked that 50% of respondants identify as LGBT; 7% is a much less surprising figure.
