Sexism and Screen Names

I will still consider them male even after some poster explicitly declare their femininity. Well.... in some cases I put them in the mazyar category.

 

I think Azadre is more than likely a gay dude.....not that there is anything wrong with it.

I do assume this but maybe I should not.

 

I think it's about 98% men, 1.9% female, and 0.1% tranny (mazyar).

 

lol what is the story behind mayzar? i always see people making those kind ofjokes about him

Chilcutt

 

i dont have search function and too lazy to google it but he posted a thread in hangout while back about going into a gay bar and had some random story about a girl that has been lost into obscurity due to the overwhelming fact that he admitted to entering a gay bar in the first place, a mistake which has earned him the affectionate nick name 'gayzar' and something that will never be forgotten as long as he continues to post on this thread, as anything remotely gay will always be referenced back to him in some way or form.

eg: A: "hey check this video out, its awesome!"

B: "yea if your mayzar, dude thats totally gayzar!"

 

Lol...mazyar craves all of the attention you guys endlessly bestow upon him...

 

On a sports website, I assume 90% of the people are male; on a domestic type board, say like a cooking website, I'd assume 80% are females. It's not necessarily about gender-based roles and interests... It's more about me associating a site with its target audience.

 

i.e. many stereotypes are true more often than not

 

I belong to a few cooking forums and they are majority male also. Most cooking forums deal less with recipes and more with equipment and stuff.

 

Well, on the Veggie Boards I post on, most people have avatars with pictures of themselves, so I know that Bean_Sprout is a male and SeitanicVegan is a female without having to ask or look in their profiles. It's probably 60 female 40 male.

 

Some people you can tell is a female.

But yeah I expect most to be men.

 

I'm pretty sure with my screen name exactly 0% of people have thought I was female.

 

That's part of my point about target audiences. I'd say that type of cooking forum to be more gender equal. Recipe websites I'd expect to be more female heavy.

By the same token, I'd expect a figure skating forum to have significantly more females on it than say, a Rockets forum...

 

Your SN is a fraud. Seriously I was severely disappointed when you listed your actual weight.

 

personally I think that's the beauty of it... maybe because it's really difficult for a guy to take a female seriously when talking about sports... so I don't get lambasted for things I say "because I'm a girl"

I know I still smile when people say "What? Hayesfan is a chick?"

 

I always assume this and that everyone is Hawaiian.

 

remember when C. Dave said "This guy said he is from KY"

 

Yeah... I was expecting a much fatter guy before I saw his pic a while back.

Something like this.
