Tumblr related question

Why is the Tumblr image for those without an avatar the silhouette of a dude? Is “male head” the default aspirational representation for those who didn’t yet settle for more appropriate visual cues, like say, a chihuahua on fire?

I demand my anonymous visualizations include female heads!


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
