Tis a quaint colloquialism originating in northern europe, namely the UK and Ireland, but, I may add, can be used by both men and women

That's a really goog example FS

I've found the same pattern my self, for some reason a lot of people thought I was male, even taking into account the avatar

I've spent the last month or so clarifying that I am female, and reactions to my posts have changed...

I'm not one to hide behind an avatar though, you will know I am a woman, and you will be force fed my thoughts! Lol

One hundred percent THIS ^^^!!! What you said Sinny!

And the double standard is real. I have seen some of most vile rationals, filthy accusations, despicable stereotypes, insulting and degrading epitaphs. Woman being spoken of as if they're spittoons that their men lay claim to, draws my ire.

Once, I accused a loudly outspoken and extremely vile poster of "vagina envy." I was fined 2000 ATS points, while the poster's offensive comments were scrubbed from the thread, without a mod warning or T&C violation graphic. I was like WTF? Of course, it was an anti-abortion thread, and I was on the wrong side of the argument.

Haha Vagina Envy! I love it!

Ohh I see... I'm personally pro... But we all think out of the goodness of our hearts aye?

And yes, sexism may be a 2 way street... But to be fair, I can't even *remember* the last time I heard a sexist remark about a bloke? All their faults go with out saying! hehe

LOL! Exactly. He is dressed like a bit like General George Washington. Since he is dressed like a bloke, therefore, most posters assume that I am one, too.

Well, good on you, Miss Sinny! Fight the good fight and remember, a woman can take a hit "below the belt" much better than a man can.

There was a particular member here a while ago who got caught out pretending to be a young girl.

Turned out "she" was a middle aged man and he felt he could spread his message better if people thought he was a young, attractive female.

Was a bit creepy!

Personally, I don't get why so many people are hung up on such things, I don't care if someone is female, black, Jewish, white or athiest!

I never miss an opportunity to announce that I am female. Those who have been on ATS long enough remember that I am. It is not "hiding", it is a non-issue with me, so there is no need to make a big deal about it. I understand the dichotomy in most people's minds when it comes to judging male vs. female quite well, and I am trying to get around that unnecessary stupidity.

If you did a poll now on ATS, I'll bet you'll find quite a few women with gender-neutral avatars. I personally like my kitty avatar, General Tab E. Katt, and haven't changed it because that is how most people know me on here. To assume that I must use a gender-obvious avatar is the very definition of sexism, and I won't buy into it.

I am on here to share my thoughts and any research I come across. Whether I was born with a V or a P is besides the point.
