The methodology is in the .pdf

"For electronic measurement of PC games, the Nielsen MegaPanel® sample of more than
185,000 US tracked PC’s is used. The software based metering technology allows for individual
programs to be identified. When a program is run on a PC, the program name as well as the
person(s) using the PC is collected by the meter."

I, for one, have never heard of this, so I assume I wasn't represented in this study, and even if I somehow had this tracking software without my knowledge, I don't believe they'd be able to distinguish my gender.

All I'm saying is: WoW Insider sucks at reporting things. Their articles are almost always incorrect or extremely biased.

Why am I here?
