There can’t be women online, that’s impossible! Websites aren’t pointlessly gendered!
Comment on Anon puts himself out there
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’m a woman on Lemmy with a gender-neutral username, which means I don’t have to try to “pretend” anything - people assume I’m a guy by default. Hell, it also happened back when I was on Reddit and used a female-coded username, which is even more confusing.
I can only imagine the gender performances these guys are putting on if they’re able to easily convince others that they’re women. Some people apparently take “there are no women on the internet” literally and can’t seem to process when women appear online (in a non-porn context, at least. Which is really disheartening.) I’ve had people full-on argue with me that I couldn’t really be female, because I once posted a picture that included my hand and apparently it “wasn’t feminine enough.” That’s what I get for disliking nail polish, I guess.

Being a woman is gay, so you must be fake.
Conclusion, women on the internet are fake and gay.

Fellas, is it gay to be a woman?

back on reddit almost everyone was a white young middle class male westerner, so that was my default assumption
lemmy sounds way more free and diverse.

Based on my All feed everyone on Lemmy is either American or, for some reason, German.

plenty of people from elsewhere around. lemmy.world has a big us bias though.

Hello, fellow woman. Would you like to go to the bathroom together and have periods?

Sorry, I already had my period at lunch. Maybe later for dinner periods?
