Also makes me realise that there really are a lot of women posters. I do genuinely just assume that the poster is dude most of them time unless they mention something very specifically feminine.
Kinda bad but years of doing it on the internet has burned it into my brain. So yeah, just seeing a pronoun breakdown is interesting enough.
yea, I had the same realization after the pronoun tags were first turned on. I'd always thought this was a more dude heavy space, just given how people behave and interact.
It is still pretty dude heavy though lol
Though looking at the gender breakdowns on some of the larger Reddit subs do reinforce why it's so normal to just assume it's a dude talking to you.
It's literally almost all cis white males who's favourite film is Empire Strikes Back.
yes, yes it is. but 70-30 is very dude heavy but not quite enough to assume everyone you're talking to is a dude. the assumption has the consequence that women, femmes, and enbies, don't feel comfortable speaking up unless they're comfortable with people assuming they're men. even a lot of cis women aren't comfortable with that. remember when reddit used to whine that women would disclose their gender in posts "for attention"?
And then that reinforces it further. Non-dudes leave because they're sick of the environment and then it becomes more and more dude heavy.
