Where does the Female Delusion Calculator data come from?
The income and marital status data is derived from the 2020 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) of the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the United States Census Bureau. This survey provides valuable insights into the economic and social aspects of the population, including income levels and marital status.
Height and Body Mass Index (BMI) Information:
The height and BMI data are derived from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The NHANES survey assesses individuals’ health and nutritional status in the United States and includes measures such as height and BMI.
To enhance user experience, the calculator offers several filtering options:
- Exclude Married: By selecting this option, the calculator filters out individuals who are married or have an absent spouse, or are separated, leaving only those who are single, divorced, widowed, or never married.
- Race Options: The ASEC survey allows for 28 different race options, but the calculator simplifies this by presenting four options: All races and combinations, Non-Hispanic White, Pure Black, and Pure Asian.
- Exclude Obese: By selecting this option, the calculator filters out men with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI is calculated using weight and height measurements.
The challenge in generating reliable results arises because neither the ASEC survey nor the NHANES survey contains all the necessary details (age, marital status, race, height, BMI, and personal income) in one comprehensive sample. As a result, the calculator performs two separate searches income and body measures. It then combines the filtered results, considering age, marital status, and race, to arrive at a single percentage value.
Limitations:
While the calculator offers valuable insights, it’s important to recognize its limitations. For instance, it doesn’t consider factors like income and height or weight correlations, which studies have shown to influence each other. Thus, analyzing these variables independently may result in minor inaccuracies in the final percentage. Despite these constraints, the calculator still provides a close approximation of reality. However, it’s prudent to interpret the results with caution.
The Female Delusion Calculator offers a unique perspective on societal perceptions and misconceptions surrounding income, height, and BMI for women. Though the results may not be entirely precise, they spark critical thinking and challenge preconceived notions, serving as a springboard for deeper discussions.
