why do i feel like i'm going to regret this

You'll get ridiculed if you admit your gender there, and rightly so, because the site thrives on anonymity.

This could just be an issue of what parts of the site of I've seen - I mostly just hit up /a/ and /x/ when I used to go on 4chan. Never once did I see someone get ridiculed for mentioning they were male. I understand that being all 'HEY GUYS LOOK I'M A CHICK' is silly, but when I was around, /a/ did have a lot of discussions about sex, sexuality, gender, etc. So yeah, I think that would be a relevant time to mention one's gender - and yet no, if someone mentioned being a woman they'd be ridiculed. These are my experiences with the site, and it's entirely possible yours are different, but this is the perspective I am coming from.

I didn't miss the point of your comment. This anonymity you praise so highly and want to preserve loses some of its meaning when it actually /is/ assigned a gender, so it isn't the true anonymity you think it is.

Well, 4chan kept me sane in my first year of university when I really, really hated my neighbors, my classes, my roommates... everything. 4chan always managed to cheer me up. But I never felt the need to chip away at my anonymity and admit what my gender was (for the record: I'm female).

And not all of 4chan is that way. People tend to think of /b/ and /v/ as being all of 4chan, but the rest of the site is quite different. Most of /y/ and /cm/ are female, and there's a pretty good amount of women in /d/. And even in like /co/ YMMV, depends if you catch them in a bad mood.

I think this is one of those times where your results may vary wildly. I've mentioned that I'm a girl (usually in threads where it's specifically asked) and the only comment on it I've gotten was something like "Holy shit, women really do love FKMT."
