There is no such thing as a default LW user either, as far as I'm aware. "Statistically predominant" is not the same concept as "default". We can decide whether or not to treat a certain behavior or property or whatever (if any) as the default in a particular context. We can't in general decide which behavior/property/whatever is the statistically predominant one.
True. Still, for certain basic drives one's gender matters and writing out two (at least :-D) cases is often too much hassle for a simple comment.
