The problem with other is that people are clicking it for fun.

I quite doubt there are 15 other to 42 female (to 735 male).

But, um, why do you assume people are clicking "other" for fun and not clicking "female" or "male" for fun? Do you have data about people's reasons for clicking? Is there some data on HN's readers' gender distribution with which you can disprove - oh wait, that's what this poll was intended to provide...
