I agree, had thought of that before - it's cognitive dissonance along the lines of "do I protect this person (who appears to be a woman but I'm not certain) or not (because they might not be)?" If society moved more to a model of 'help people who need help' it might improve matters.

HP are also sending me reams of paper I don't need. I need a printer but I don't want to basically host someone else's printer and pay rent on it.

It was, until the events of the mid-2010s when most of the science fiction fandom community quit it and went over to Facebook, presumably because that was more convenient (i.e. on it already) than going to e.g. Dreamwidth (a LJ-alike that is still going). It operated in a very similar way to FB but somehow much more focussed maybe because it never got the 'businesses having pages on there' bit. Those of my friends who were on both, often used FB more as an events calendar than all-around social media.
