Is it normal that online, people assume i am a guy?

It happens to me. And I found it odd when it came up in the same conversation where I mentioned being pregnant.

It happens to me even if I have written something in a bio that says I'm a woman. I guess I must type with testosterone:P

It happens all the time. Generally, in my experience it is more common for people to assume that anonymous people on the internet are male. Though it seems the opposite happens as well. I'm a guy and some people here actually used to think I was female. I don't know if it was due to the nature of the topics I respond to or the way I word my responses, but I think is all comes down to gender stereotypes that we subconsciously apply. I was told I was too "nice" to be a guy. I think most people are assumed to be male because people are generally more blunt on the internet and maybe that is something associated with males? Your guess is as good as mine.

I used to work in tech support for a satellite tv company and people would slip up and call me sir.

That's because everyone online IS a man. Have you not read the rules of the internet?

RULE 30: There are no girls on the Internet.

I'm the same. I'm a girl but it's actually rare for people to to realize my gender online.

Which programming language? C++?

I've been playing World of Warcraft for about 5 years now and male players often assume that everyone else is male. You get used to it after a while. Sometimes I play one of my male characters and I think it's fun fooling other male players. They never suspect that I'm female. ^.^

Still better than assuming that male is a female. That case happens a lot.

I was assumed a girl a couple of times. It happens.

I do too but I like it and have stopped correcting people... it's more fun to play online games as "one of the guys" rather than getting hit on and/or assumed to be ''inferior'' in certain ways

Sexist - 'Discrimination based on gender'

NOTHING I HAVE SAID IS SEXIST YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT. Don't use words you don't understand, and especially don't pretend to understand them you fucking half wit.

Bet you look like a guy too. Freak.

Completely normal, most people on the internet will assume you're a guy unless you give away any obvious clues like talking about makeup or being cutesey.

Rule of the internet. "There is no females". For me personally if the name or something does not give an indication of it being female and coloured I assume white male. I have no idea why my mind jumps to that but that's my default. I am also not the only one who assumes this either. Since I have known people on who assume everyone is white unless told otherwise.

I think that's something that could happen to me, but I wouldn't care, since all genders are great.

something to do with the screen name

Thats harsh.
