Sorry, I was not aware that Sabine is not obvious in english. The picture in the top right could also have been a hint. It is not about it being "100% woman" but about "male" being the default. I think it is telling that the assumption seems to be physics -> male. If this would have been about social issues or fashion, maybe the people would have checked before assuming male gender? I don't say it does not happen to me too, but if it happens, I think it is good to raise awareness.

Hmm, I managed to miss the picture too! >It is not about it being "100% woman" but about "male" being the default Is it the default because of bias though, or just because it's just more common -- and people tend to assume based on frequency?
