Gender Listings! Question!

[Madspirit]

In user's profiles some of you refuse to list your gender. I am simply curious. Is this a social experiment, a political statement, are YOU undecided or do you simply think it's no one's business?

I really want to know. :popcorn:

1. I can't speak for others. As for myself, I'm not comfortable listing a gender since that

whole creamed cheese in the blender thing.

2. You're really disturbed.

I like that in a person.

3. A quote from a friend's email

"for a long time I did not reveal my gender at various blogs. I do believe my postings were taken more seriously and I got higher ratings before I was, slowly, eventually outed as female. grrr."

For women, it's a relief to be able to discuss something without being discmissed before opening their mouth.
For men who are pro-feminist, it's chance to even out the interactions by voluntarily giving up some of their standing
For men who want to disrupt discussions of women's rights, they can pass themselves off as gender neutral (usually they manage to out themselves at the first post, though)

4. I list myself as female, but it apparently doesn't matter if I did or not.

I've been accused to being a man multiple times on here. So has my SO.

:eyes:

Of course, there are enough DUers who have met us to know that we're really women.

5. I can vouch for that.

:D

6. Hell, there's photographic proof of the three of us.

It also serves as proof that we like to drink.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. We also must get stoned.

:smoke:

8. DO NOT BOGART!! Please.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. I'll try not to.

;)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Well, you were the only one stoned in the picture.

Honestly, I like weed, but it makes me anti-social. So it's a good thing I wasn't stoned at the bar.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. I wasn't stoned -- that's just how I look.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. I was buzzed. I just normally look that way.

:rofl:

At least I wasn't rubbing buffalo sauce hands on anyone, like somebody else was.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Yes, I enjoyed watching that.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or kill her.

And I wasn't trusting her buzzed ass to not stain my nice pink polo shirt.

:rofl:

[Madspirit]

12. Stoned

People make me anti-social. Pot helps.

19. Can we get a link to that?

:rofl:

[trof]

16. I assume they're female.

I don't think guys care.
Is that sexist?
:shrug:

[Nicole]

17. I didn't list my gender at first.

Once people guessed that I was female I figured I might as well change it. :rofl:

[trof]

18. Yeah, I don't know too many guys named Nicole.

;-)

[Radio_Lady]

20. Yeah, I don't know too many men named Radio Lady...

I've been outed as a female from the "get-go" --
