I only used "female" because that's what the OP used.

I think that you've mistaken which comment of yours I'm replying to (because you don't use the word "female" anywhere upthread of me). I was giving an example of something to dislike about the sentence "Even if you are a lurker; ESPECIALLY if you are a female!" in the OP.

Sorry, yes, my mistake.

(Though I can't help but think that, if polled, non-male LWers would converge on a third, write-in option: "This poll is a waste of time.")

EDIT: I am not referring to the poll in the OP.
