As a woman...

we have a secret: a lot of us also choose to "hide" behind gender-neutral usernames. It's a thing that makes life easier on the internet.

I agree! Although I have my real first name in my user name, no one will know if I am a women as this is an Indian name and most of the world doesn't know if it's a male or a female name.
I always suspected so :) Really hope that some day it won't be necessary anymore.
