Sailor S

It only seems like there are just as many females on the internet because a lot of males pretend to be female, whether intentionally or not. For several years at the first forum I mainly frequented, people assumed I was female because I always used female avatars and I had an ambiguous username.

I figured you were male when you mentioned beer, chicken wings, and laziness, in the same sentence.

How could anyone named Sailor S not have everyone automatically assume you are female?
![]() I think this forum actually has more females, according to the poll results, than I'd expect it to. But that's because I know many anime oriented forums with lots of young users (teen, preteen majorities) are more like 80-90% male (I try to avoid those). |

One of the first things I learned in this forum was that there was no relationship between sex and either avatar or user name. It was difficult, some guys have really sexy avatars. About the only way to tell is when someone flat out states what they are (or wish to be seen as). With Egoist even that is subject to change without notice.
![]() I'm male, but I don't like either chicken wings or beer. Laziness does have it's attractions though. |

Well, maybe I should use this thread to make it clear that I'm a 23 year old girl...

@ egoist
Have you decided yet what you will be next week? By the way, I like the new avatar. It is cheerful, the last one seemed a bit depressed. |

*A lot of people just use the site for news/info and never make a single post so it kind of depends on what is meant by "ANN users." **Just a casual observation-- not trying not to be all heteronormative about it. |

First you need to become a gender chameleon. |

A forum community, whereby we only see each other by what people type and an avatar that is only limited by the imagination, liberates humans from the bias of gender roles and expectations, as well as that of age, race, disability and other attributes. So in short people "pretend" they are the opposite sex because they can and because there are various benefits and incentives to do so because of the reasons stated above. I put pretend in quotes because I don't think of it as pretend at all. Often I find that in real-world situations when dealing with people face-to-face, that is where the pretense and deception exists. Past in the online world is the real me. I swear to Maude, I wasn't one of the people who picked "other" |

I must confess that that idea never occurred to me -- I must remember to keep it in mind in the future whenever perusing these fora. |

I actually am a 23 year old girl. I'm still surprised I'm that much in the minority. Avatars are deceiving, you cannot tell if someone used a photo because s/he liked the show, liked the character's physical appearance, liked the look on his/her face or wanted it to look like him/herself.
