workshop 4 comments - Serena

hi,
after methodically clicking through all the sites and observing default browsers, gendered identity avenues, race and the like i just feel kind of amped up to say something that may not be very academic, wise or, correct but somehow i have suddenly developed an opinion on this topic and here it is...
are we not either male or female? what is the issue with stating which one you are online? i mean... we're online.. if we were face to face it would be blatantly obvious which sex the person opposite you was so why not make it blatantly obvious online where we do not have eyes to see and instead fingertips to gather information..... i don't know, i just feel a little frustrated that everything gets such analysis! is anyone with me here? i mean i totally understand that this is what the unit is about about and i appreciate that but something makes me uneasy at the same time.
