I am female hear me roar!

[Macmaniac]

I think this thread illustrates a fascinating thing the internet does, especially on msg boards like MR. Gender is very easily confused. If I was really crazy I could make an account on some random site and pretend to be a girl. The internet works in strange ways.

Maybe I should contribute and get my Demi-God status..

very clever I tried to find a good female ninja avatar but I couldn't find anything suitable. Although if my current avatar brings out my ninja-ness, that's fine with me ( I personally thought it brought out my bonjovi fan-ness, but close enough )

nj rockers...bon jovi

back in the 80s, bon jovi ruled hair metal...and the sunset strip in la so many here thought that they were with guns, crue, van halen, etc

Gender is a social fabrication, encompassed in the mind.

Aren't you in for a surprise when you get older

Go on then, I'll bite.

I'd guess you're a boy and am happy to expose myself to public ridicule if I'm wrong.

It occured to me after the fact that my profile might contain my sex. Sure enough, my geneder is located, along with a bunch of outdated information, in my profile. *sigh*

Yes, I am male though

Yeah! so... You doing anything after you're done hanging around this forum?


On an even less serious note, the add I am seeing at the top of the screen is rediculus. It asks "what famous rapper is this?" and gives a chest shot of a white male. Now I don't like RAP, but out of 50 cent, Eminem, and Ludacris I think I can take an educated guess

Regrettably not all of us are transvestites.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You'd better watch out...I know where you post!

Allright, I'll explain. A wet signature is an original signature from a pen (ie "wet" from the ink) as opposed to an copy of a signature.

This can also be done with an autopen machine. Pretty cool.

... And then, there are those of us who started out on the "big bad internet" on IRC that purposely went with a masculine or gender-neutral name... it let me keep my /ignore list a LOT shorter...

 

[wrc fan]

This is a really funny thread to read. Honestly, on the internet does it really matter whether one is male or female?

Oh, and for a gender neutral pronoun, you can use "hir" or at least according to wikipedia

 

[celebrian23]

No more welsh flag

it's my name!

Or one could just avoid the misandronous construct and use the right word...

So what's the right word to use for a person that is neither male nor female or both male and female? Or are you denying that 3rd genders and hermaphrodites exist?

 

[vniow]

Or are you denying that 3rd genders and hermaphrodites exist?

Of course they don't. That would disript the dichotomy too much, its why we have to "fix" them at birth.

Androgynous?

 

[spicyapple]

Asexual?

"One" is the gender neutral 3rd person personal pronoun. Slightly archaic albeit, but the neologisms sound illiterate.

I suppose this wouldn't be a good time to bring up that Keach fellow...

 

[skunk]

"One" is the gender neutral 3rd person personal pronoun.

Wow! That must mean our Lilibet is neuter!

Simmons?

 

[Earendil]

Simmons?

Har har

How about "Sam".

Think SNL.
