'''''Gender-bait''''' is a term used by [[William Gibson]] in his 2003 novel ''[[Pattern Recognition (novel)|Pattern Recognition]]''<ref>"Nothing like genderbait for the nerds, as I'm sure you well know." ''Pattern Recognition'', paperback, page 78''</ref> for the practice of some [[male]]s who represent themselves as [[female]]s online to elicit a positive response from other males. This is most common in [[Internet forum]]s and [[massively multiplayer online role-playing game]]s. |

The term ''gender-baiting'' has been in use at least since 1992,<ref>[http://groups.google.com/groups?q=gender-baiting&start=120&sa=N&scoring=d gender-baiting - Google Groups]</ref> mostly in the sense similar to [[race baiting]]. |
