For my first 2 years on the Internet, everyone thought I was a woman. This
was an accidental result of my nickname, but I thought it was hilarious and
a good opportunity to see the other side.

In those 2 years, I saw the complete range of online behaviour towards
women. The only people who hassled me on the basis of gender were the
ones that were so mentally incapable that it was easy to destroy their
arguments in public.

To summarise. I never had a problem because people thought I was female.
Sure, I got messaged a few times with "Im about to cum, help me!" but all
I did was message back "Dick, Hand, Wank" and put ignore on them. End of
problem.

Any female that gets consistently harrassed because of her gender has either
picked up a nutcase (rare), or is personally incapable in one or more
aspects. Lack of capability will always solict flames, as Rosie Cross has
discovered. She prefers to believe it is her gender that is the reason, not
her deficiencies.

I think that Rosie Cross doesn't have a clue, and should fuck right off.
And get a grammar checker.
