There's no "Prefer not to say" or maybe someone who identifies with something other than "Male" and "Female"?

That being said, beyond gender I would be interested in knowing the general break-down of the community on various statistical grounds. I can't see any realistic way of doing it, nor any particular benefit beyond personal interest, but I think it would be interesting to see a break down of the population on terms of: Age Gender (including a few other options, such as an "identify as neither" option) Country of birth Country of residence Current level of education Intended level of education How often do you play computer games (check boxes) Favorite game mode (sandbox, science, or career) Maybe some others... Now that would be interesting... impossible to organize in a way that makes the results statistically viable, also enormous care would need to be taken to ensure safety and anonymity, particularly of the young folk. But the results would be very interesting none the less. Edited January 21, 2016 by Tourist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being a feminist or whatever it is but what if someone isn't a male or female? I'm by no means making fun of the OP, I'm simply stating that those aren't the only things people can be, and even if it was this is irrelevant to little green men in little planets / real space travel, which doesn't really care about gender either way.

pincushionman Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Threads like this have been locked before...but Vanamonde has obviously seen it and he hasn't locked this one yet ('less somebody spoofin' his account)...so I guess I don't know what to think. However, I certainly can't identify any regular users as male or female. 'Course, I ain't been lookin', neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand though, wouldn't you want to avoid creating a climate that is exclusionary to any group? IMO, this thread serves no relevant purpose other than to be divisive. At best it will provide inaccurate results, at worst it'll make segments of the player base feel alienated (and not the Kerbal kind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPeck Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Creeper issues aside, it is kind of an interesting question. I teach at a college, and right now there's a big push to get women into STEM. If you're a woman, and you want to be an engineer or a computer programmer, there are entire organizations that will throw bags of money at you, put you on posters and write journal articles about you. Female participation in STEM-related activities is historically low, although it is starting to improve. So from a purely statistical standpoint, individual identities notwithstanding, it would be interesting in an academic sense to know how many members of the KSP community are women, engaging in a recreational activity that is a STEM experience at its core. I don't think it has to be a comparative thing, but I would be interested to see if the participation rates are similar to what we're seeing in STEM programs in higher ed. Of course, if this is just an excuse for the OP to find girls to stalk, that's just uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
