why do people here think that I’m a guy?!

[Gad]

now it doesn’t bother me, but why do they instantly assume whoever is helping them with their home work is a guy? :confused: and I’m thinking this is not my problem alone, is it?

why does the word racist come to mind!! :grumpy:

[GeorginaS]

"Racist" because they assume you're male? How about "sexist"? Being male or female isn't a race. :wink:

My guess? (Because I too assumed you were male and you haven't even helped me with my homework.) Because you have a gender-neutral name. And given that there are far more males on this board than females, as a shot in the dark, it's fair to assume that you'd be male rather than female just based on percentages.

[Office_Shredder]

What is the context of this gender referencing? Notice in English that the male third person pronoun is usually used as a gender neutral third person pronoun also

[Gad]

well, they just can say thanks drizzle instead of thank you sir!

[arunma]

Maybe they think you're male because...let's face it, the vast majority of physicists are male. Heck, out of forty professors in my department, only 2 are female. Off hand I can only think of one American female grad student in my department, and that's out of 100!

If it makes you feel better, some people think I'm female simply because my user name ends in an a. I only use it because an old ISP gave it to me, based on my first name (Arun) and a couple of random letters.

[TheStatutoryApe]

Drizzle seems sort of masculine to me, or at least reminds me of "fo shizzle" which reminds me of young guys coming up with silly 'ebonics' type words.

I have an online friend whom I thought was female when I first started talking to him because his name seemed feminine (apparently a lot of people thought so). The fact that he was talking about kissing cute boys in the first blog post of his I read didn't help much either.

I like Kimberly name.

Kimberly IS a nice name, and 2 of my 3 daughter's names are on the list as well as my wife, 5 aunts, my sister, and a great aunt - good list!

I agree with SA, Drizzle seems sort of masculine to me also.

[Borek]

I have long learnt to not assign any sex to any nicks - especially as intuition from Polish is different from intuition in English.

But nicks are usually not designed to reveal the sex, so this is not a problem. Problems start when I see the real name and I have no idea if it is feminine or masculine.

[Monique]

Maybe you should end every message with "hugs and kisses, drizzle" :biggrin:
I changed my nick, because it was annoying to be referenced as a male all the time.

[Jimmy Snyder]

How come everyone assumes I'm a male?

[Andre]

I think there is a fine distinction in code of conduct and nettiquette in inter genderal discussions :smile: I have seen severe accidents happen elsewhere because the guy had no idea he was quarreling with a girl. This could have been prevented if there was a m/f flag visible somewhere.

[Ouabache]

If you are serious about folks getting it right, perhaps changing your username to one that expresses your gender would do the trick.

[Oraltalker]

This is a bit weird even for me.

[arildno]

Druzilla would work very nicely.

[Lisa!]

Take it easy, man!:biggrin:

[CompuChip]

Just for the record, I agree that your username is rather gender neutral and I can imagine that people conveniently assume that you are therefore a male.
On the other hand, is it really relevant? If it bothers you that people say "thank you sir" (which, I must admit, bothers me a little too just because it makes me feel so old :) ) you can change your username into something more intrinsically female. But then again people may also look upon you differently as a person, as seems to happen sometimes to girls in (some areas of) science.

Speaking of unfounded prejudices, I always have this irrational feeling that people that say "sir" are from India :tongue:

[Gad]

hahaaa, what a sense of humor you all have. anyways, I said it doesn’t bother me…just made me wonder :)

[arildno]

Would "ma'am" or "miss" suit you best, chick?

I like Kimberly name.

My favorite female name is Ephemerides.

Funny how names are generational. Names that used to be popular seem strange and unfamiliar. And names that were once 'old people' names are popular baby names again (I guess once those particular people died, some names lost their unpopularity).

Alas, Ephemerides hasn't been in the top 1000 most popular names in at least a century (and probably longer).

Gender neutrual on a homework help forum isn't all bad, though. As some have mentioned, there is a surprise at females being in a math or science oriented field. One of the professors ran into this when she entered the classroom only minutes before the start of class. Being a slightly youngish looking blonde (unless you look closely), one the more helpful male students told her kindly she must be in the wrong classroom, because this class was Calculus. Nice way to get on the good side of your professor!

[MissSilvy]

Funny tales of misogyny aside, it's just a English caveat to refer to someone you don't know as male, especially if the place in which said person is found happens to be a forum with mostly male members.

That said, I think my username clears it up nicely.

[physics girl phd]

That said, I think my username clears it up nicely.

Maybe "MissDrizzle" or "physics girl drizzle" would serve the OP well. :biggrin:

I picked my name because I was defending my phd the week I joined up (PF is a great procrastination place)... and when I thought about emailing Greg to switch and was thinking about a poll to decide on one, everyone was saying they liked pgp... and I'm inherently lazy, so it's stayed. But people probably tend to think I'm younger than I am... and maybe working on the phd rather than done with it.

I like your username. It projects an image kind of like one of Charlie's Angels - except more like one of Einstein's Angels (http://www.alberteinstein.com.au/multimedia/einsteins-angels.html), of course.

[Evo]

I get people here that think I'm male all of the time. Odd since my avatar is female.

[arildno]

Perhaps, Evo, they think of this as a statement of major gender confusion:

"Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame,
And around the prow it reads its name,
The Lady of Shalott. "

[protonchain]

The truth?

Because there's no such thing as GURLS on the internet.












Just kidding. Don't hurt me Evo :P

I was just going to say, "That's what the avatar is for." (That and saving the world from the Fire Nation)

I guess that it doesn't work all the time. Personally I think that Evo IS the Lady of Shallot.

How do you figure that? She's kind of eccentric (how many people will only look at you in the mirror?), and she's obviously a lousy boatsman (she died, didn't she?), but I didn't see her as being a witch.

Of course, I guess Tennyson did write two different versions.

[GeorginaS]

All right then. Now I understand. :smile: Wow, see?

Loren is a more female oriented name than male, no? Not that that means anything. And how does one know when one's been "hit on" here?

[Moonbear]

It's interesting how we assign gender to words for things without a gender. I always was fascinated when learning foreign languages that a table might be female and a chair male, or vice versa. Yet, indeed, the word "drizzle" seemed masculine to me too, even though it should be entirely gender neutral.

But, if people are calling you sir, and it's not just that they are taking a guess at the pronouns "he" vs. "she", then it's more likely you have encountered another non-native English speaker who is just trying to be polite without fully being aware there is a different word than "sir" when addressing a female.

I used to have the same thing happen all the time when I joined up. Oddly enough, it stopped around the time I got the sniper kitty avatar. Apparently, sniper kitties are clearly female. Or maybe the kitty just takes out anyone who would dare call me "sir." :biggrin:

[turbo]

I have birds, but I feed them outside. First, train the chickadees, then the nuthatches want to get in on the act. Often, there will be a tufted titmouse or two flocking with the 'dees, but they are always too shy to hand-feed and I have to watch them through a window instead.

Kind of like Schrodinger's Cat. Drizzle is both male and female until you check drizzle's jeans.

Kind of like Schrodinger's Dog, except even stranger. Bird people are twice as strange as crazy cat ladies.

[physics girl phd]

Drizzle is both male and female until you check drizzle's jeans.

Maybe drizzle should glue a pink bow on her head, as seems requisite in childbirth wards to distinguish gender, even though, as moonbear's pointed out in past threads, it's a simple matter of peeking in the diaper to determine gender.

Kind of like Schrodinger's Dog, except even stranger. Bird people are twice as strange as crazy cat ladies.

My brother's a bird person... and yeah, he's missing some marbles. I think his new girlfriend is helping him find them though.

I have a cat (as evidenced by my avatar), but when I was "playing the dating game" I always made sure to say "I have a cat, but I'm NOT a crazy cat lady." Unfortunately, I think two of my better friends have become crazy cat ladies.

I think of birds as female, even when they are clearly males of the species. For the longest time, I was assuming that Redbelly was female. So, see, it works both ways.

[Kurdt]

Birds have mixed up sex chromosomes don't they moonie?

[turbo]

For the most part, the more colorful and flamboyant birds are the males. Chickadees and phoebes are unisex (in dress), but many songbirds have very bland-looking females (to be less conspicuous on-nest) and very bright males to claim, defend and hold territory.

And, no, even though I hand-feed wild birds and chipmunks, I'm not as crazy as a cat-lady. I'm just being really practical. Most of my pets are wild and they fend for themselves and I don't have to clean up after them.

I used to handfeed a squirrel that hung out on my porch. I later found out he'd been fed by a neighbor before he ran up her skirt -- putting an end to her feedings! By the time I was feeding him, he was in old age, and such antics were beyond him.

My whole goal is to become the crazy cat lady. Though, I have a neighbor who was out walking his cat a couple weeks ago (late at night when most people wouldn't notice, except a fellow whacko like me). I'm annoyed by that.

Hand feeding squirrels is simply providing a training program for muggers. Squirrels become incredibly demanding. Thanks to the squirrels, having foxes move in next door becomes very desirable, indeed!

I have to admit presenting a challenge to competing Gray Jays and a chipmunk was an entertaining way to spend last Saturday. Gray Jays are naturally very bold. One took food from us with practically no hesitation. It didn't take long for the second to decide that was the way to go. The chipmunk became very frustrated when we stopped tossing food and started waiting for him to come take it from our hand. Eventually, he got tired of the Jays always taking the food and mustered up the courage to come get some food.

It made for some good photo opportunities for other hikers (it was a busy day on the mountain trail we picked and most dally about at the top of the trail, eating lunch, etc).

It probably didn't make for good nutrition since the only thing we had to feed the Jays and chipmunks were Garden Salsa Sun chips.

The squirrels here are a full-blown mafia. They run shakedown operations at each of the vending machine areas.

I used to hand-feed both chipmunks and squirrels when I was a teen. When the squirrels didn't get their peanut fix, they resorted to breaking and entering, which led to my mom officially banning the practice of hand-feeding squirrels. I always kept the peanut jar near the back door, and during summer when there was only the screen door closed, a squirrel decided to chew through the screen and raid the jar. I had all the squirrels and chippy's trained, even a few blue jays would play "fetch" for peanuts, catching them mid-air. Oh, to have entire summers of free time to train the backyard critters again!

And drizzle, make sure there's no ambiguity. A bikini shot should suffice, but you know what they say: "less is more".

AHAHAHAHA HAHA! You fool. You fell right into my trap!

There are only two rules of engagement:

The first is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia', and the second is 'never bet against an Irishman when bikinis are on the line'.

I had my arm amputated and preserved years ago in preparation for just such a wager.

I've just eaten a scoop of ice cream using my elbow as a spoon.

Now cough up, sister.

[Sorry!]

OK, I have tried. I can't lick my elbow. Your turn - and as you have not stated "I will if" I think you have no choice :smile:

[jobyts]

The risk you are taking is all your elbow licking efforts will just end up in just watching a picture of a guy in a bikini. Not too exciting.

[BobG]
