Do you like being treated as a celebrity in threads like this because you have boobs or would you prefer if people stopped obsessing over what sex you are?
Why do you think those are the only alternatives? Or an especially interesting pair of alternatives?
I've assumed that daenerys gets karma and attention (at a fairly ordinary level) because they're a good poster about difficult topics.
I had understood the questions to be abstract and anonymised, not to daenerys.
Fair point about the question being more general than I took it to be.
However, that makes it seem even weirder to me. Would you care to write about why you chose those alternatives?
I suggest availability bias because they are the two extremes of a simple spectrum of "pay no attention to women's sex... pay lots of attention to women's sex". It feels natural to think in these terms, even when I'm aware that actual behavior mostly lies between the two extremes, varies a lot for the same person, etc.
