That’s pretty brave of you. It’s a lot of work to fight people’s assumptions, and I’m sure it results in harassment.

But, you’re right that things will never change if women don’t do that. It’s a chicken and egg thing. Nobody wants to be the first to do it, because whoever’s first gets harassed the most. But, if enough people do it, it won’t be abnormal anymore.

Good luck, and thanks for trying to make women on the internet more normal.
