To my knowledge the expression「私なんか」is approximately translated as "Oh, not
me!" and used to sound humble.

The questions are:

  * Is it gender neutral?
  * Are there other situations where it can be used?

How to use expression「私なんか」?
1.Yes, it's a gender-neutral expression. When used by a man, you can change
the first person to mean the same thing, as in "俺なんか" or "僕なんか".

2.Depending on the sentence that follows it, it can sound pessimistic. When
you use "私なんかダメな人間だ" you are saying that you can't see yourself as a good
person.
