I suspect you have no idea or do you : care about the degree to which "cyberspace" has deteriorated into : some sort of rack 'em and stack 'em murder death kill text based : adventure game. 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. -- steve@adam.com.au
