sci-man Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Hi, sci-man here and i was just wondering why there isn't a write your own option for your gender when you make your profile. i understand some people might not be appropriate but non the less i still think it would be a good thing to have. is this a good idea or no? answer the poll
iNow Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 If it's even configurable at all, I'd prefer gender be removed entirely from profiles as opposed to adding more options.
StringJunky Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 You can choose gender in your profile. I don''t understand the question.

hypervalent_iodine Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 We can add / remove options, change it to a text window, or remove it entirely. I am personally in favour of the latter option, as with iNow.

MigL Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 For most people, gender does modify their world view. Gender association, sometimes adds extra insight into a person's opinion. You know, " walk a mile in their shoes " ( or high heels ) to understand where they're coming from. This is for opinions mind you, gender has no bearing on facts.

Moontanman Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 There is no need for a gender option, it easy to tell who is who, women are always smarter than men and write better I happen to know I-now is a bigfoot...

There would really be no point to it. I mean, if you want to express your gender in any meaningful way, the only ones that the majority of people will even comprehend are male/female related. If I were to put Chimera into the gender section, I don't think it would mean anything to anyone here. It's kinda pointless. I also don't feel we should remove it, because it's an option, not a requirement. Don't want people to know your gender? Don't bother saying it. Problem solved. Edited December 12, 2018 by Raider5678

hypervalent_iodine Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 If I’ve pushed the right buttons - and I often do - the option to include gender should now be gone.
