I've experienced this a few times; I've had one mud on which I played a
female character (mainly because I was an admin on the mud, and hoped that
playing the opposite sex would make it less likely that people would
figure out who I was) and I've had one where I played a male elf named
"Tilante", who people kept thinking was female -- I guess that name
somehow sounded female, since the people who thought I was female had only
seen me in the "who" list.
People were generally much more willing to help me out and would give me
equipment, etc., even *without* my flirting with them. On the minus side,
I was often bothered by people who wanted to chat, and sometimes by a few
weird birds -- like one guy who started his first conversation with me by
asking "are you slinky?" I only experienced anything that I would call
harrassment a couple of times -- oddly enough, that seemed to happen more
often when I was playing Tilante. Maybe people were annoyed by finding
out I was male and wanted some sort of "revenge" -- I don't know.
