That'd be the way that you read it, if they were another Alexandra Elbakyan (or Joanna Rutkowska, or Stephanie Wehner, or ... ) then they clearly wouldn't be a King among Men.

Just as I wrote.

The issue is more that your comment can be seen as a respond to the /last/ sentence of the original post.

    Only to those unaware of who Alexandra Elbakyan is or to those that chose not to investigate.

    For those aware the juxtaposition twixt { King of Men } | { Woman who created massive scientific paper archive } tends to dominate.

    But sure, not everybody reads things the same way.

It reads to me same as xereeto said. That's why I asked. Maybe think about that? Do you have some difficulty in interactions?

    No.

    I do have 40+ years of observing commenters on internet forums assuming unknowns are male by default.

    Maybe think about that?
