Very few of the statistics in this article were surprising, most were very predictable. I think it is great information to compile and publish, however I think this article was very ineffective. The layout of the article was hard to follow, and the writing only pulled out what the graphs already show. But the information itself is there and comprehensive. The trends I was thinking were going to appear did, with the higher levels of theaters having a greater majority of he/him designers, and the lower levels having a bit less of that gap. The costume department was she/her majority overall, and the newer departments like video projector are more he/him dominated compared to the older departments like scenic. So while I do like the information in this article it is not something surprising, and I really wish the author had some analysis of why the trends in gender are the way that they are.
