  1. Male? You were asked to assign a gender to the Walker and you chose male? In keeping with the WAC’s longstanding tradition of blurring boundaries, breaking stereotypes, rethinking roles, and redefining gender identities, I would think there’d be a better alternative that defining the institution as male.

    We should, like, totally NOT be MySpace friends.

  2. So the Walker should be female? In my mind, gender isn’t what defines innovation, redefinition, rethinking, etc. But in your paradigm it must, eh Margaret?

  3. Nope, I didn’t say it should be female.

  4. From what I understand, they plan to change it up every few weeks or so.

    Then, the Walker is definitely transgender.

  6. Margaret, there are only two options for MySpace, male or female.

  7. Hi all,

    It’s true, MySpace does require that every profile list a gender. Unfortunately, the only two options are male and female. This was a concern when we were creating our account, and the plan is to switch every month or so. Our account is brand new, so please continue to send feedback to make MySpace more like OurSpace.

    Thanks!
