OK, seriously, why does everyone gotta be a man?

[bris1974]

what am I?

 

[tj99959]

Well I'm a guy, sorry but I couldn't help it, I was ....well .... born that way.

what am I?

a mare

it's a lot like when you meet somone with a new baby. Your mind bounces back and forth between asking "What's HIS name?" and "What's HER name?" until you finally decide to ask "What name have you chosen?"

BYW, I'm a man and my avitar is a pic of my female, one eyed cat named Fraya.

And then you hope it's not Pat.
I've been mistaken for a guy online too. I don't care, it's not like it ever happened IRL. lol

Wowzers!!!
This thread started out with the potential for some serious negativity... I'm proud of all you ECF'ers, bringing the good vibes back to the thread.
As for me... I suppose most people try to gain clues from avatars, signatures, etc... Mine would be misleading possibly. I am a male human. This is fun, though... we should turn this in to a "Guess if the poster is male, or female" contest!

In all seriousness, though, I don't give a hoot is you're male, female, robot, or zombie... You're all human. In my book that means I give you respect until you prove yourself unworthy of it. That's just the way I operate!

I agree for the most part but I do draw the line at zombies. Not to be judgmental but why do they all have to be so messy? I understand the whole, Have to eat brain and un-dead thing but please have a little pride in your appearance. And that is before I even get into the whole blood and other bodily fluids / hygiene thing…

OMG, you just posted this after talking to me!!!

When someone says to you jokingly or mockingly "Yes Sir" (and gives a snappy salute) it's a reproach against your authority not gender.

YOU made it a gender issue, so tell me what other specific things have happened to you in this last 24 hours (as you say) that was also an assumption against your gender? Couldn't have been just one thing right?

Well , I'm a man , but I see members , calling other members men , when in fact they are women . Does seem to be prevalent in this forum . Case in point . Just the other day , a member said he would take a device , if the other guy didn't . The other guy in this case was Classwife , Definitely a female , as well as a mod . And with her name , and still mistaken for a man . So there's my take on it .

So let's remember, it's not the size of the mod, but how we use it. Oh wait is that the same thing???

"Is that a vaporizer in your pocket"
lol
I know what you mean.

 

[middleborn]

Great sig middleborn. Love me some Talking Heads.

Me, too sk8mdw.
The 80's were very, very good to me!

LOL...Pat!
I don't have kids, but I understand what was meant.
I DO have that problem, when I walk my dog.
"Oh, she is so purty"
And I say "Oh, yes he is"

[COLOR=""]i must look like a dude lol i even sound like a 12 yr old boy so i have been told 100 percent women [/COLOR]

 

[msilvia]

LOL this is a bit of a joke in my house. Living with 3 males (2 sons and a husband), my 19yr old constantly tells me there are no girls on the internet. Everyone is male!!!

42yr old female as you can see.

 

[middleborn]

My voice runs on the deep side, too.
When I used to work on the phone, I was always told "Thank you, sir"
Funny, but true story...
My mom came back from her lunch break one day and her co worker told her "Mama Middleborn, your son called while you were out"
Imagine her face.
She has 3 girls.
LOL

I too kinda enjoy the man/woman ratio here at ECF. I'm 45 and female. I'm an engineering student...all guys. Peruse a lot of technical forums...all guys. One of my hobbies is video games....all YOUNG guys. I work in manufacturing quality assurance...again, all guys. Lol Ive long since gotten used to being 'one of the guys', so its nice to actually have some 'fellow' females around

Ditto....ditto....ditto...

In college there was (at the time) primarily one building for the engineering classes. I was actually stopped in the hallway several times and asked if I needed help finding the right building for my class. One particularly jerky sort asked if I was lost and looking for the nursing school building. [Totally NOT a knock against nurses from me, by the way.] Watching those cocky types flunk out of freshman and sophomore classes and transferring to a Bachelor of Arts degree was particularly satisfying.

Also worked in manufacturing QA for several years as well.

Ouch this thread started out rough. Is it me or the last 2-3 years everyone just forget what sarcasm and joking was? It seems everyone takes everything too seriously these days even on here D: I don't ever remember this many posts(not just this one I've run into) with so much negativity out of the gate.

And to be more on topic with the thread, guy/girl, doesn't matter I'm the person with a PV. (If someone somehow get's that reference, I will hug you!)

 

[trick brownie]

For real it shouldn't matter if your a dude or a chicky, were people but it is fun meeting vapors

 

[tj99959]

I'd rather talk about horses.

I have a wooden one

 

[cags]

LOL, this is cute
A lot of times you can't even figure it out by visiting a profile ... I know, I've tried it! However I'm sure all of us have had a few moments here
I doubt that anyone questions my gender by my avatar but if you do ... I'm definitly female!

dale.ron. I thought you were male for a while can't go by the pictures!
I'm a girl (ok, an old one). I would only be insulted by being mistaken for a man if it happened in person lol

 

[trick brownie]

thats sweet i dont have horses tho..i have a dog

Touche... I see your point!

 

[Myrany]

I guess because I have been an online gamer for years I just ignore it when people assume I am male. After all in gaming you have to be careful to say your are "Female" because GIRL=Guy in Real Life and there is always someone happy to point that out and tell you "There are no girls in <insert game name here>."

General philosophy for life: Don't sweat the small stuff.
