On a future ACX survey, probably around New Years', I'll ask subjects if they have thought about the Roman Empire in the past 24 hours. This question will resolve to YES if the percent of cis men who answer "yes" is at least 1.5x the percent of cis women who answer "yes".

If for some reason I can't do a survey like this before the April 1 close date, the question resolves N/A.

@IsaacKing People ran around with sword fighting each other conquering stuff. Imagine sacking a city with your bros, how epic!

Oh, I do. Believe me, I do.

Joshua Northeybought Ṁ108 of YES

There is a less than 0.1% chance the answer to this is NO when talking about the population in general. What a silly question. Who knows what Scott's relatively few cis women readers will say though, they aren't a very representative sample.

Michael Wheatley

Prev surveys have recruited some mechanical turk users, right? Will this be 100% ACX readers, or a broader sample?

benjsmithsold Ṁ10 of YES

Suspect the gap between men and women in general is a fair bit wider than men and women who are ACX readers.
