    Male-Female Log Odds Ratio

    It means log(males/females). Base 10 I suppose (not relevant to the visual)

      I am really dying to know what author of the graphic thought is advantage of such scale instead of -100 to 100…

        It’s probabilities. So they essentially talk about a range of decimal comma positions, from 0.01 to 100.0 or 1% to 10000%

        They could have used plain counts as well though. (Not sure about the visual gradient though, as I suppose these things are impacted by Zipfs law, etc.)

      I think its actually gender color coded. The “male” side leans blue-ish, with the “female” side leaning towards pink.

      Using controversial forced gender roles colors as a axis is certainly a choice.

        The whole study (behavior+gender correlation) is biased. I didn’t see the colors on the other screen anyway.

        For the case you had issues with understanding the log thing:

        • log(males/females) = -2 means 1:100
        • log(males/females) = -1 means 1:10
        • log(males/females) = 0 means 1:1
        • log(males/females) = 1 means 10:1
