It's not just getting credibility in male-dominated fields; I know several women who consciously choose neuter or masculine-sounding pseuds and don't have any photos online because they're sick and tired of the no-social-skills bozos who think any online interaction is a pickup opportunity.
I'm not sure if said bozos would stop hassling anything that sounds like it might have tits if they were made aware of dating sites, chatrooms and the like where their solicitations might be welcome, but it has to be worth a try, which is another vote for bubble empires rather than Facebook uber alles. Not that I think for a moment it's going to come to Facebook uber alles, you understand.
Which reminds me, have you seen this and this? Quite apart from the man's unnerving resemblance to a less attractive Louis Theroux, that's a mighty big hole he's digging for himself. (Oh, and apparently there are HP7 spoilers in the comments)
