i think teenies stick to shitty games like COD, where they can be as obnoxious and self serving as they please. i've found women to be as good, if not better, than myself in strategy, but they often do not attract the same sort of attention (this may be a good thing). i think male gamers are often intimidated by a female gamer who can defeat them in battle, and i have encountered such, especially in the strategy genre. rage quitting and sexist slurs are becoming more and more common, hence why many women pretend to be men online.

Yes a lot of people say the treatment of women in gaming is getting better, but from everything I've seen it seems to be getting worse. Recently a woman was forced to flee her home for the night and contact police due to the high level of violent threats she was getting from online gamers, some who said they found her address.

i've never encountered that, but it would be pretty easy to prove and have them arrested.
