The Girl's Guide to Staying Safe Online
Schulz isn’t the only guy to discover the fun of Writing While Female. Choire Sicha, founder of The Awl, has written about the gender confusion around his own name. When he was writing the New York Times arts listings, he told me, “The letters and emails that arrived for ‘Ms. Sicha’ had that distinct variety of grand mansplaining tone — there was a way in which they ‘talked down’ that the communications for Mr. Sicha didn’t have.” On the other hand, “the notes addressed to male-me treated me as a grown-up — like there was an assumption that I had authority but I was just wrong.”
this is a really good fucking read. do it.
