    Most sites can, especially if they're small and the mods aren't full-time or geeky enough to set up spam filters early on.

    There's a certain irony in people on the internet being extremely mad over "letting <x> in". Like, it's a digital space. Nobody's checking your chromosomes on AOL. If you want to just... say you're a lady when you create the account, there is literally nothing stopping you.

    I had a Reddit account where I just referred to everyone as "she" and "her", and it drove the chuds fucking crazy. People would angrily DM me with "WHY DO YOU THINK I'M A GIRL?!" and I'd just be like "50/50 ma'am". I got banned from /r/neoliberal for doing it to a mod (reason: Sexism) at one point.
