I don't think it really matters if they ask for your identity, just ignore them. I'm not sure why they do this to some and not others
Because There are no women on the internet!

I have noticed a trend on Steemit to look very closely at female-identified contributors more so than male.
It's an internet tradition. A technological extension of the fact that Witchhunts were directed at women, over 70% accused witches were female. The males most likely their immediate circle (supporters). Often a woman achieving some type of 'unusual' success; material, power influence or otherwise was a trigger of a witch-hunt. As it was believed she made a pact with Satan for it.
this isnt meant as a feminist theory, rather I analyze things from a cultural-historical perspective as it's how humans work; aegis developed over the centuries, we don't decide on it rationally.
Do you have a longer piece on this? Because I would LOVE to read more.
I will write one about that specfically. I mention a bit about it in many of my blog posts. Thanks for the interest/feedback. Specifically the Witch-hunts or more general?
