Before looking at that, can you say if you would attribute different meanings to what gothgirl420666 writes, depending on the gender you imagine gothgirl420666 being? The same for anyone else whose gender you do not know.
Preferably leaving aside the additional complications of people who, for whatever reason, present as the opposite gender to their physiological one.

Ah interesting. I don’t think the gender thing influenced my interpretations of the writing. Plus I started to figure out that he was a male fairly quickly but wasn’t totally sure. I will say that he subverted my I-don’t-listen-to-teenagers heuristic with some thoughtful, well-written posts. Funny too that reading his bio he strikes me as quite similar to myself, especially when I was in my late teens. In fact, I have posted on a forum with a girl-sounding name before.

How did you do so? Are certain writing styles employed more frequently among males?
