As a maintainer of a number of modules, I can say that my "help a poor stupid" person issues have all been from either self-identified males or people with male sounding usernames. I'm not saying that being a male means that you will post stupid questions, but that in my experience I haven't seen any "help a poor stupid girl" posts... and that if I had seen such a post, I would generalize it just as little as I generalize the ones from men.
