Why do you assume the author is a man?
If our shared language was poorly designed enough to have racially segregated pronouns as opposed to gender segregated pronouns (don't laugh, its an almost equally stupid design decision) I'd probably call you all martians out of disrespect to a dumb design decision not because you're all actually from mars.
Its not because the website authors profile pics make them look manlier than myself or I admire their beards or anything dumb like that.
TLDR: Doesn't mean much.
Nope, the equivalent what you did is use the "white pronoun" for a black person.
