On a final note, I guess I really should see if it's possible to change the account name, because when I post something funny and people who don't know go "Dude! That was great!" I'm caught between laughing at the incongruity and going *sigh*. It makes for some interesting back-and-forth. And this account has great karma and lots of equally-great fans.
Why sigh at the incongruity? Sometimes I can't remember the name of the child who's attention I want, much less worry about the gender preferences of someone who I can't see and don't even know. Respondents are likely to say "Dude" without even having made a decision about whether your login is gendered male or female.
Life is too short to assign weight to the random stuff other people say.
