Discussion on question by notmySOaccount: Manager asked for home address without giving a reason. Should I have provided it?

@WernerCD The gender is immaterial. Men can be "hit on" just as much as women. What is "telling" is the OP wants to focus on the issue at hand.

@notmySOaccount People here are just genuinely trying to help you by offering potential reasons for Steves behaviour. The fact that someone (accidentally) assumed your gender doesn't mean anything. Accusing people of something "they would do" and complaining about politics that haven't materialized is unproductive, and frankly, a bit off-putting.

"I've been reliably informed that gender doesn't matter" You've been informed wrong if you think that's the case. In the day and age of #MeToo? Gender matters more than it's ever mattered. "I've been reliably informed that I'm unattractive" Likewise, good & bad things happen to "ugly" people so whether or not you're unattractive is immaterial. It's telling that you're not answering relevant questions and deflecting with irrelevant statements to questions even when you're anon.

@WernerCD If I wanted to discuss political topics like gender, I would post this on Politics.SE. I am not here to discuss political issues. But since you care so much, I'll have you know that I identify as a man and my preferred pronouns are he/him.
