Remember when people on the internet werent pushed towards using real names? Gender bias didn't exist because only people you told knew your gender. Such gay times they were!

It was so awesome when you were fine if you either were male or knew enough to pretend to be male!

If that was how it was for you, you were hanging out in a pretty crummy part of the internet, which is really sad considering how easy it is to find a different part. You missed out on some quality times.

That is a completely different argument to the one you made originally - "some parts of the internet weren't sexist" vs "people weren't sexist because they couldn't figure out your gender" (which is the one I disagreed with")

Yes, I do remember that (having been using the internet several years before there was any such thing as a web browser), and I dispute your claim, albeit on the purely anecdotal basis of spending years on Usenet.

Can you just give me some closure on our thread please by admitting you're wrong? Thanks.
