@packbat God, that's infuriating isn't it. My Reddit username is the name of a CLEARLY FEMALE film character and I still constantly get called "this guy" and such. The idea that male is "default person" somehow, and not just on the net, doesn't seem to be getting any less pervasive among the mainstream.

@zebratron2084 it's really frustrating! we're at least trying to actually say something now when it happens, but ugggh it'd be nice if it never happened again.
