There's something I find unconsciously alluring about women with male names, like it makes them somehow unique. It's a completely irrational thing, but there it is.
It may have contributed to my having agreed to name our daughter a more traditionally male name (although now that she's a teenager, the name feels very female to me after all these years).
So, you know... Screw you, faqs. You're a know-nothing douche bag (which is about the kindest thing you deserve to hear).

Well, in Eliot's defense, she did use the pen name to lambast female authors of the time (likely all liberal feminists, the whole lot of ‘em). So, it's probably kosher.

How about my all time favorite, James Tiptree, Jr.?
Her science fiction stories are phenomenal.

She is beyond amazing. Both her work and her life. Her titles alone are masterpieces. I'll be teaching a number of her short stories next semester.

How about S. E. Hinton? For years, I assumed she was a guy, not knowing S stood for Susan (stupid male bias - although the two books of hers I read were told from the perspective of a male character, so I'll cut myself some slack here). She wrote The Outsiders when she was about 17. Amazing.

Actually you are the liars....
The only thing I've done is imperfect is spelling and grammer.
All of your other claims are false, misrepresenting, cherry picking, simple lying and false degrading. Duplicating a paper doesn't mean I "illegally" against the rules of the particular assignment did so.
