Posing as the opposite sex- TRY IT

I think maybe once or twice I've been treated differently because I am female online, but never because of my looks. One of the benefits of being an unattractive female with some intelligence, I guess. You're not hated, but you're not loved either.

In fact, just today, Zeph said something completely asshole about women and I asked "SO YOU THINK THAT OF ME?" He proceeded to tell me that I don't count as a woman.

Which, in a way, is very flattering. It means that I'm regarding as a person - not as my sex. And I respect that.

I've never posed to be something I am not just for shits and giggles, though. I think it's deceitful, and I don't know how to be anything but myself. I guess I am closed minded about the opposite gender and even my own gender.

But I really don't pay much regard to gender in general. I think focusing on it makes it an issue - like anything that is used as a social divide.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"colorful"... personalities) pretty much railed her (verbally) for acting like a scandalous whore. Then one day she up and disappeared. Further down the line, I wanna say a year went by and a new member registered to remind us all of the whole thing, only this member was coming back to report that he had been the one posing as a young girl as research for a sociology/gender study class he was taking in college at the time. I don't remember the name of the poster himself but I'm almost positive that his slutty alter-ego was "AshlySlut". (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Naturally he got questioned to kingdom come and after he explained himself to the best of his abilities, he never came back but I thought it was interesting that he went through this whole thing like this for a good while. I do remember him mentioning to me in an IM convo that a certain member who I will not mention by name contacted him shortly before he was about done with his "research". I can't help but feeling a little bitter when I think that if his "research" had continued just a bit longer, we would've had enough evidence of creepy behavior and thus been able to ax the member who shall still not be named a hell of a lot sooner than we did.

Dude. I totally nailed that guy. I have the logs to prove it! I even made a a journal entry about it. I spent so much time. ;_;

Would you like to see, for comparative reasons?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yessir~




I apologize for the screenshots alone. The links no longer work in the journal, as it's from the OLD old GFF (pre-first-crash). The comments don't work either. ;_;

This may not be the same person you're talking about, but I can tell you that I spoke to the man responsible for this account. In the comments, he owned up to having made a dupe, and that it was for a sociology class. He was pretty cool about it.

Ironically, he lived 3 blocks from where I once lived in Worcester.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
