Nowadays, the lingering sentiment can only be seen as a [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] in [[Image Boards|certain corners of the Internet]] and in people's assumption that anyone they meet online is male unless obviously otherwise. You can still see this to some degree in the gaming community, but that too is fading with time. With the advent of Voice over IP it's pretty obvious who's female (at least physically) as your voice will "give you away". It's still good to keep in mind that some people [[Cassandra Truth|will not take your advice seriously]] and that sometimes the software distorts or changes the voice so that people will question your sex regardless.
 
There are, in fact, certain places where women now dominate the community, such as in [[Fan Fiction]] sites, [[Soap Opera]] boards, [[Facebook]], ''[[Second Life]]'', [[Live JournalLiveJournal]] and its clones (particularly in [[Journal Roleplay]]) or [[Myspace]]. As such, this is mainly a [[Discredited Trope]] these days.
