There's a degree of sexism built into the English language, you can try to change it by creating a gender neutral grammatical personified ("it" usually doesn't work), but unless it's more useful than alternatives, I doubt it'll gain traction. Nouns are almost always assumed to be masculine if assigned gender and it's very easy to slip into saying "he" by default when describing anything you're not certain of. Anonymous internet aliases fall under that "default male" noun rule IMO. In the absence of knowledge, it's equally invalid to assume the author was female.
