Probably because it’s so rare, that it freaks men out. Please be mindful of us cavemen, who are afraid of things we have never seen before.
You are scaring the cave people!
It’s funny, comments like yours are exactly what I had in mind when I made this post in the first place. People can go wild with assumptions about my identity, but if I play into it for fun, suddenly I’m “seeking attention”? When men post like I do, people interact with the content; but when a woman posts, her entire behavior gets dissected and assumptions are made just to discredit her, no matter how harmless the content is.
And I wasn’t mocking anyone.

Yes, this is attention seeking behavior lol. You are making posts about yourself, about what you’re up to each day, about opinions that you imagine people have of you.
You have created this strawman argument that anyone questioning that you are who you are wants you to post nudes or something.
You know what you’re doing, lol, no need to be evasive about it.
This is the internet, we are all bots here. There is no such thing as identity.

Calling it “attention-seeking behavior” ignores the fact that this is just my posting style. You can go all the way back in my post history where I explicitly say I have a stream-of-consciousness approach: something crosses my mind, I look through my Insta saves for a meme that fits, and I share it.
Men never get asked to prove that they’re men or questioned like this.

Your posting style seeks attention. It is currently entertaining.
“Men don’t get asked for the same reason as someone saying they habe a cat or dog as a pet gets asked, odds are high that is the case because most pets are cats or dogs and most people vocal about themselves on the internet happen to be men.”

I have a question. It’s about this part:
Why does this matter?
You are somebody who believes that there is no such thing as identity on the Internet, so why even ask this question? What’s the point? What changes about life if this question goes unanswered?
