On the Internet, No One Has To Know You're A Lady. Problem Solved!

MORE LIKE THIS PLSLadies! You are doing it wrong, reports a lady who has been working as a man, on the Internet, for the last three years: "Taking a man's name opened up a new world. It helped me earn double and triple the income of my true name, with the same work and service. No hassles. Higher acceptance. And gratifying respect for my talents and round-the-clock work ethic. Business opportunities fell into my lap. People asked for my advice, and they thanked me for it, too." It's totally true! I get totally different sorts of emails (and email response rates) from people who think my name is a lady-name. Then they find out I'm a man and they give me whatever they want. True fact! (via)

It's true! I can't believe we've kept it secret for so long. We give each other free suits and surgical procedures too! And we tip male waiters with cars and buildings.

So if I change my name to Mr. Bittersweet, does that mean my comments will get more responses?

No, but they'll be made of platinum 3" thick.

Is it too late for a "girlofdestiny" gag?

From now on you can refer to me as ally_cat_witawip. I can feel the respect and money flowing towards me as I type this.

Ladies are just figuring this out now? Men have been traipsing around the internet as 14 yr old girls for years!

Wait, how do we know that this "James Chartrand" isn't a guy blogger pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man? Note this recent post on pretending to be the opposite gender when you run out of things to write about: http://www.copyblogger.com/cross-dressing-blogger/#more-4955

Pics or it didn't happen.

On the internet nobody knows you are a bitch? Or is that just too much of stretch for a New Yorker cartoon gag?

I tried to make that joke for like five minutes. It was UNPOSSIBLE.

but what about the case of LolCait? did he become more beloved once his possession of a wang was made public?

"Eventually, I had earned enough income and credibility to get a mortgage, and I bought a tiny, modest house for me and my kids in a quiet town near my mum."

I call BULLSHIT!

From the URL of her blog "http://menwithpens.ca/" it would appear that she lives in Canada (and she called her mom her mum).

This still doesn't solve the problem of actually BEing a woman.

Hey what's up ladies. You don't have to worry about pretending to be a man with me. I'll disrespect you either way.
