Why does the generic avatar look like a guy?  I think this is discrimination.?

antiekmama · Accepted Answer

All the females on this sites are upset, including myself.
I can't find an avatar that remotely looks like I do.
No avatars available for grey haired wrinkled ladies.
So i keep the generic one and bingo they turn it into a man!
Shame on you Yahoo

Discrimination against a human being is worse than discrimination against an avatar.

Some women out there look like guys. No offense, but this is the truth. Sometimes I find myself looking at somebody, trying to figure out if that person is a guy or a girl.

I agree. They should let you choose what generic avatar you'd like. Man, woman, dog, cat, circle, square and whatever else.
