Male or female?

i probably don't need to supply examples. but you can imagine (or i can...maybe i'm wrong) a female reader being like, "uh, right. sure...."
again, just an observation.
and maybe i should throw out there that i am a guy. didn't know if that was clear. so i am not speaking for myself. any girls who want to correct me are more than welcome.

I disagree. Gals can be just as indecent as guys, if not worst. You really can't rely on that.

Would it be not embarassing for me to say that i mistook you for a girl because of your observation. o_O
I actually mistook 2 major girls(Moemix & Kurdanoinu) as guys because of how they post. until they reveal
they aren't...

no worries. i realized that i hadn't actually said anything and that my comments were definitely confusing the matter.

i would not argue against you there. i am just saying there there are gendered ways of being indecent and that there a girl would have to adopt the specific ways of speaking/interacting to feel comfortable in the conversations on a forum so dominated by guys. again, i don't mean that as a necessarily good or bad thing. it's just curious.
;D

Dammit, I thought Meo was a girl at first, then told myself she was a guy because everyone who posted about meo said "he". And now she is a girl again? In case you guys haven't visited the FMPics thread, I'm a guy.

When I heard the saying "On the Internet, Men are Women, Women are Men, and Kids are the FBI." I came to conclusion that everyone is a male by default, until you identify yourself.
