This is word salad. What does it mean to "assert yourself" of someone else's gender?

It means the user, a relatively recent account, is trawling for bites. The KKK in the username and the slant of many of their comments might hint at a touch of bad faith edge lording.

    and no, I'm not part of the KKK I wish people would focus on the content of my arguments not my username.

    pkzip was taken so I chose something easier to remember.

      I can't say I ever said or thought that you were.

      I did assume you thought it amusing to stick KKK in your name and stick with it though.
