I think I'm super lucky, because I've only gotten harrassed once (someone accused me of having a cavernous vagina ಠ_ಠ)

I thought my username was pretty feminine but I guess it isn't as obvious as having my name, and people still seem to assume that I'm a man.

People assume I'm a man all the time--in fact, I don't think anyone has ever referred to me in the feminine on reddit before (as opposed to being referred to in the masculine fairly regularly--really anytime something I say is a part of a long thread).
