Adding a "Pronouns" custom user field? Good idea, or the worst idea?

Gender Pronouns (original title: Should we have gender-identifiers on the SDMB?)

When referring to another poster whose sex I don’t know, I generally revert to “he” unless corrected, but I know there are many women on the board. On one message board I go to, men’s names are in blue, women’s names are in pink, and non-identifying names are in yellow. Is that something we could do here?
