Try hanging out on an IRC channel full of lesbians, gays, straights, bisexuals, pansexuals, asexuals, nonsexuals, and transgender lesbians.

Then tell them that you really can't be bothered keeping track of everyones preferred pronouns, and that unless they happen to be a particularly memorable person, they'll be referred to as 'he' for simplicity.

Just quote Rule 30. Chances are most of em are hes anyway.

Actually 46% of the internet is now female.

See, that's a skewed statistic. 46% of the internet is female... provided you stay within the bounds of popular sites and social networking. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc. are massively skewing the stats towards equality. If you stray outside the most popular areas, into say, IRC, I'd be willing to bet there are just as few girls as always.

I doubt that actually, every IRC channel I'm in has a reasonable number of confirmed gurlz.

yeah, but not almost 50%, surely? I have played a fair few online games, and the number doesn't even approach 1/4.

On top of that, I'm on the moderation team of one, and of the 6 "girls" (confirmed, with pictures) that were on the team, 4 of those turned out to be guys who'd just been a little more inventive with their cover stories.

Feminism is built around the proposition that men are pigs and that women are equal to men.

Umm no
Radical feminism doesn't equal all feminism

I wondered wether or not I should emphasize the irony with an apt smiley, but of course I wasn't serious. In fact, I nicked it off another entry.
