At first, I thought this was a girl, and I immediately thought it was a super cool girl. But then I realized that what I thought was her long hair coming out from under the helmet was actually the hair of a girl standing behind, and the person in the helmet really a guy. Immediately my opinion of the person changed, and I thought what a really annoying lame-o. I haven't been able to put my finger on the basis for this sexist bias, but it's a gut feeling.
This is like that optical illusion where it's either an ugly old woman or a young one - you have to let your eyes and mind switch between the two, you can't see both at once. First, relax your eyes and see it as a girl. She's so fun and quirky, right? The, readjust and see it as a guy: annoying loser who quotes Monty Python.

I love you party pooper. Checking SIMYP is like the highlight of my day....
Same feeling when I discovered that Party Pooper was a woman. That's when I started to LOVE the blog.
What the hell is he drinking?

Damn it. Why did you have to make that connection? Now I keep flip-flopping on how I view this pic.
