Although on second thought it probably indicates that I associate civility with females which is stupid and unfair and can't be intentionally controlled by me anyways so it's not really worth lamenting.

It makes a difference that there are some Wei Dais that are female.

I probably wouldn't default to associating anti-consensus advocacy with female. That goes against a notorious (and as far as I know reasonably well founded) stereotype.

I was thinking and perceiving in terms of tone rather than in terms of advocacy statement.

Someone else mentioned somewhere that essentially Wei Dai is very good at disagreeing politely.
