I can't do that in general. Certain attitudes OTOH are heavily gendered, like the psychology behind internet trolls who at the simplest level is that they want everyone's attention to orbit around them.

Do you think women and girls don't want everyone's attention to orbit around them ?

[jmfayard]

For women online in particular I'm pretty sure lots of them would rather enjoy less attention on them personally. Too much it not pleasant for _them_. I'm thinking in particular about friends who are content creators, minding her own business and receive comments on her look, insults, sexist comments, unsolicited dick pics, rape and death threats,... I'm sure sexism has nothing to do with that.

OK I'm done on this topic. Maybe there are a lots of women behind internet trolls and then I'm wrong, that's an empirical question. My comment was on "strongly disagree" vs "bullshitting"

My followup question is why you felt the need to claim that the answer to an empirical question is something that you haven't verified empirically?

100% you are a dude.

My guess is that HN is mostly men, so you're likely to be right, but probably for the wrong reasons.

What rules you used to infer my sex from the text of my comment?

[jmfayard]

Apparently you are really curious about getting to the bottom of this so I did my research.

For me it's a vague intuition. But women are much better are recognizing "men talk" than I am.

So I asked one woman how she does it and here is her answer

> Men make comments without revealing their gender, but we can see the comments are coming from a man's point of view.

> How do we know?

> We have a lifetime of experience listening to a man's point of view.

> In other words, they show their asses much more than they think.
