Women post on social media (Instagram) more than men

[JL642]

Why?

And Facebook. I am on a running group: the membership seems to be 50:50 MF but Females produce 65-80% of the posts. I used to be on a Rat-owners forum: heavily Female. Almost no males, but in real life, plenty of guys have pet rats. So many fora, heavily female.

Women especially like the attention? Like the contact?

I would’ve thought there were more men on forums like Reddit though. So does it balance out across different forums?

", females are more likely to use social media sites when compared to males (Kimbrough, Muscanell, & Guadagno, 2013), and are more likely to use visually-oriented social media platforms, such as Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Tumblr (Lenhart et al., 2015). Research has also indicated females are more likely than males to use Facebook for posting public messages and content and for photo sharing (Hargittai, 2007)."
