Gender Wage Gap Poll Troll

The gender wage gap is real. Should the second stimulus check provide those who identify as women $5000 and men $1200? Yes No 21% 79% Okay screw this. We will delete the poll and try again later for more accurate results. Your troll votes do not count. You people are pathetic.

A screenshot of a Twitter poll from Friends of Journalism asks whether women should receive a $5,000 stimulus check and men $1,200, then shows an overwhelmingly negative result. The follow-up tweet claims the poll will be deleted because of “troll votes,” revealing that the account expected agreement and is humorously upset by the backlash. It is used as a reaction to someone rejecting inconvenient poll results or pretending unfavorable responses are invalid.
