Gender confusion hits again!

Posted November 16th, 2012 at 02:15 AM by Hikari10

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.

    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.

    Yeah, newbies always think I'm male unless if my current avatar is female.

    'thanks man' is just one of the many other ways to say thank you.

    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'.

    "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 ;3

    "Man" is just a generic term when you're talking to someone in a laid back way, nothing to do with gender. :p
