Evo,
Why do people here think that I’m a guy?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the assumption that individuals helping with homework are male, highlighting issues of gender bias and identity in online interactions. Participants explore the implications of using gender-neutral usernames and the tendency for people to default to male pronouns, often due to the male-dominated nature of certain fields, like physics. The conversation touches on the cultural context of language, where male pronouns are frequently used as defaults in English. Some contributors share personal experiences of being misidentified based on their usernames, which can lead to misunderstandings about gender. The dialogue also includes humorous exchanges about the nature of online identities and the challenges of gender representation in digital spaces. Overall, the thread reflects a broader conversation about sexism, gender assumptions, and the importance of recognizing diversity in online communities.
Evo,

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!

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

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.

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

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.
