I use Skype to communicate, keep in touch with friends and personal contacts. The default Skype gives people who specify their sex but choose not to upload any picture happens to be a grey and white sketch with a ponytail as being female and a grey and white sketch with short hair as being male. Would you assume Skype is trying to make a statement, are they just unaware of how many men have long hair nowadays or did they not give much thought to this matter thinking it would never become an issue? For the record, I changed my sex to female since this photo looked more like me (despite being biologically male). Do you think we ought to contact Skype and ask them to consider a different system regarding sex identification? Subliminal things like this can make an impact on people and society in how a group of people are viewed (not that I care too much what people think of me). I guess if nothing changes then the fact I wear a ponytail makes me female. This will make the matchmaking business more difficult! Haha!
