> EDIT: What's with the oversensitivity here?

It's not oversenstivity, there's literally no reason to care about the sex of the person who wrote this. It's completely offtopic and irrelevant.

What does "studying inclination towards certain decision making criteria" mean anyway? Reading between the lines it sounds like you think women behave one way and men the other way (which is fine if you think that btw), but wanting to "study" that using this article is just dumb.

"Literally no reason" in this case meaning...?

If you went through 7 books of "Harri Potter" carefully written to never reveal the gender of the main character, would you care?

It's human nature to be curious. And particularly about a dark shady character pulling of crazy crypto heists.

Ambiguity over the identity of the narrator is part of the hook. Of course it's reflex to start drawing a picture of this character in your mind as you read. When the gender is unknown or not clear, and particularly when you throw in mixed messages that this might not be the stereotypical male basement dweller, it's interesting.

Note that the question was phrased as "Out of curiosity...". This is essentially a disclaimer that it is an off-topic and irrelevant question. From the way I see it, your comment is even less reasonable in this context.

You mean like if I used the same disclaimer and asked you this:

"Out of curiousity, are you male?"

Can you not see what that implies?
