What gender do you go for when playing an MMO?

I have made plenty of both male and female characters in RPGs. I don't really have a particular guideline for this. It depends on my whims as much as the other options for the character, like hair color. When I made my Corsair a female, it was mostly just because I didn't think there were going to be a lot of female Corsairs early on, and I liked the idea of playing a female Pirate.
