Words known better by males than females, and vice versa
I&#x27;m a woman software engineer, and I recognize every one of those as a word, which I think was the criterion being measured. (There are a few on each side I can&#x27;t define but have definitely seen.) I&#x27;m mostly floored by how many of the textile words people here don&#x27;t recognize, to the point of thinking they&#x27;re &quot;fake words.&quot; Have you never shopped for textiles for your house or apartment? I mean, espadrille, sure, that&#x27;s a woman&#x27;s shoe guys might not ever see the word for. But damask? Jacquard? Chenille? Do you not have curtains or a couch?
