I have never heard the power law/normal distribution claim on social media and almost never anywhere else either. Do you have some links?
I don't know about solid research. The last time I was looking up research about this was around 15 years ago, when I was actually planning to publish a paper about the finding above.
I had some data about a series of speed-dating events. Men gave double the amount of +'s (if both give a +, then it is a match) as compared to women, and the distributions were what I claim above. Then there was the OkCupid article and some research on dating apps and speed-dating events. I don't remember research mentioning the different distributions although it was obvious from the graphs on the research papers.
I think there is some taboo around this subject, for example the OkCupid article mentioned was pulled off. I don't know why it is taboo. Perhaps it hints too much about differences between sexes?
