Time for another funny blog entry, and I was answering a question in B/W's Quick Questions when suddenly, the person I was replying to thought I was male.
I'm actually female. Guess my avatar/sig confused you.
Notice she called me a "man", meaning she thought I was male? I know I use a lot of male-looking avatars and sigs, and several newbies have not noticed I was female but I laughed at this so much.
So, do you think that my avatar/signature at the time is what makes people assume what gender I am? Give thoughts in the comments.
And remember, don't let my common choices for avatars/signatures fool you. I AM FEMALE.

Hmm, we all know that one day, you'll literally think you're a male.Posted November 16th, 2012 at 02:50 AM by MidnightShine

He wasn't specifically calling you a male, it's a generic unspoken rule of the internet that 'we recognize everyone as male by default'.
Also no, I personally never cared enough to guess a person's gender from their theme.Posted November 16th, 2012 at 04:49 AM by Truality

'thanks man' is just one of the many other ways to say thank you.Posted November 16th, 2012 at 10:03 AM by Zet

It really isn't them assuming you are a man, or even people auto-assuming everyone a male until spoken other wise. It's just a saying.
My housemate has said "aw thanks man" when I do her a favor. It's just a saying, such as people saying "DUDE!" when not really talking about 'a dude'.Posted November 16th, 2012 at 03:42 PM by Lornami

"Thanks, man" is like what others are saying; a figure of speech.
And really, how do you know if they really meant short for human ;3Posted November 16th, 2012 at 09:31 PM by Kura

"Man" is just a generic term when you're talking to someone in a laid back way, nothing to do with gender. :pPosted November 20th, 2012 at 12:15 PM by AlexOzzyCake
