On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.

These problems existed long before Internet fora. Back in the days of BBS and fidonet, there was some guy in the Midwest that always confused expanded vs extended memory. I wanted to drive there and kick him in the nuts.
