I'd like to throw my two cents in here.

What I do like about this site is that many people are not hiding behind the usual cybermask and that people are creating communities within a community that appears to embrace every nationality.

However, as a woman who has decided to expose her true identity ... it does make me feel very vulnerable.

The cloak idea is just a tiny way of saying 'actually, I don't want everyone to know what I am doing here and I am entitled to some 'privacy'... it's ok for me to go to the bathroom without checking with everyone! It's of little use, of course, because I have already totally exposed myself. However, I have had one unwanted 'come on' here already and that makes me feel uncomfortable and a little nervous about it. I guess that may be difficult for many men to come to terms with?

So I am with AbigailIII on this one.

Just my two cents worth!
