This is a Mac community discussion forum, not a gender discussion forum. Gender is irrelevant here.

who would really care? If someone wants to call me a whiny girl, then I guess I am whining enough for people to think I would be a 14 year old girl
If we're going with gender, why not just post everyone ethnicity and religion, that way we could segregate the hell out of this place.
I'll keep my online anonymity, thanks.

But would it not be nice to know who the people on your buddy list is at least? I do not truly know all of mine.

Well, I wasn't gonna mention it, but I was thinking 13.... 😀
Nope. Doesn't matter.

Dude, or dudette🙄, if you pay attention it's very easy to tell the gender of most members. I have 97 people on my buddy list, one of which I've met in person, and I think I can safely say I know the gender of all of them.
But yeah, asking gender is really borderline discrimination, cause people do tend to treat women/girls differently.
Edit: Cool. Don't worry, be happy.😛

More people against my idea than support my idea, so I lose on this request. 😕
Not obvious?

Well, I for one tend to view rats as male. But if I see a pretty kitten, I think female. Am I the only one who does this?
And why are words considered masculine or feminine? I never got that.
I don't care about gender in these forums.
I want to know who are the raging-hormone, pre-pubescent types so I can simply ignore their posts. Although, if I go back to their previous posts, I can usually tell from the "my parents won't let me buy a..." or "I will be going to college in six years, should I buy a MacBook or a MacBook Pro?" useless posts.
I can also tell the high schoolers by their sarcasm. I just want to shake them and say, just wait until you grow up and see how immature you look to the rest of us.
God, I sound so old.

I think you need to lighten up. There's no win or lose, you suggest something which you think will help the forum but many disagreed, that's all.

I truly do not understand why we need more threads on this topic. It has been discussed in detail at least twice already.
