i don't know how any BBT girls stomach the hyper-masculanized sex-speak all over the forum.

i think i just made up some words...

What do you mean stomach?
They're the ones making it all up!

by gendered i mean that there are very masculine ways of talking/joking about sex - terms, actions, roles, etc - which may be consciously or subconsciously alienating if you aren't a male.

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.

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...

Ahh i remember the days where throwing out cuss words seemed so alien to me, reality sure fixed that! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I like how i just have to call you "moe" for you to post on a thread.

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

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.

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.

^ true this. got the mentality from it myself.

If someone says they are a girl then they are girl. I have no right to dispute that.

although that is one of the great (and confusing) things about avatars: you can be what you want here. even a tentacle monster! *looks sideways at Burkingam*

I abandoned this set

because it started to creep me out (aka why the fuck do you want to stare at your face 24/7?) fujoshi4ever~

While i lasted with this avatar a good 2 years or so:

Wow so Meomix was a girl all this time, dang I got fooled. So I guess I have to call ~~him~~her Moemix from now on, or maybe moe will suffice, what you say Moemix?

It isnt if everyone posts "he", "him" when referring to her....
