How many times each term appears on the page:

women: 13

men: 14

male: 6

female: 6

The language used is equal and every case where "male" or "female" was chosen, it was matched by its inverse in the following statement. Same goes for "men" and "women", I think you're perhaps reading something from the article that isn't there.

The context matters. Look at these sentences:

>The most important data I needed was the percent of men that these females tended to “like.

>The females who responded to my questions could have lied about the percentage of guys they“like”

>I have to assume that in general females find the same men attractive.

>Most females only “like” the most attractive guys.

>According to my last post, the most attractive men will be liked by only approximately 20% of all the females on Tinder.

>According to this analysis a man of average attractiveness can only expect to be liked by slightly less than 1% of females (0.87%).

In sentences where men and women are mentioned together, more often than not, "female" is used instead of "woman".
