The same is said for things that are have been labelled as things mostly women are in too. There are lots of places that have the majority of female posters (for me it's anything to do with crafting hobbies) and it's assumed that the posters there are female because there are very few male posters. The posters that are male aren't singled out if they're genuinely interested in the subject and aren't just there to hit on women. It works both ways. assumption anyways.

Yes indeed it does. I've seen a number of men use feminine usernames or allow people to assume they're women in female-dominated spaces, such as slash fandom. Or as you said, craft hobbies. I don't blame them. Sometimes women in female-dominated spaces can be downright vicious.

But how does this in any way negate or invalidate the experiences and desires of women in male-dominated spaces who go the opposite route? Bullying is not a zero sum game. Where did anyone say that this was a one-sided affair? It isn't. But we're talking about what the OP was talking about; which was in particular a male-dominated space.

Or are those men who allow women to assume they're female in craft hobbies or LJ RPs also "fucking stupid" and "putting themselves on a pedestal"?
