Maybe a meme, maybe not

One thing I like about playing here (and am constantly surprised by) is that there are male players. My other main roleplay community on LJ is so female-dominated that we accidentally tease our occasional male players half to death.

Now, I am female, and I roleplay almost exclusively as male characters. (I hope this hasn't been done before or recently.) So my real question is: do you roleplay your own gender more or the opposite? And why.
