Uh, if by "most of the internet" you mean Reddit, 4chan, and HN, then sure.

I'm not even sure if I'd call reddit overwhelmingly male. It's 63.8% male.

I would describe a nearly 2:1 ratio as "overwhelming".

I don't want to be that person, but you speak with such confidence, as if what you're saying is a commonly held definition of a word.

2:1 is definately lopsided, and "overwhelming" is not a precise defined term in regards to numbers, but a 2:1 ratio does not really match what i think when i hear the word overwhelming.

It’s actually closer to 3:2 and I would not describe it as “overwhelming”.

> 63.8%

3:2 is 60%, 2:1 is 66.6~%, therefore the median is 63.3~%.

63.8% is above the median, so strictly speaking it's slightly closer to 2:1 than 3:2.
