  1. I think they announced on the VGAs that 40% of online gamers are women. I'd say that WoW and it's casual gamer attitude is responsible for a lot of new generation female gamers. So, they are no longer rare and few and far between. If you haven't had any in your guilds then you are just unlucky (or lucky depending on who you are asking), or they don't run around screaming "I'M A FEMALE" and you probably just haven't noticed. I play male and female toons. I never bother correcting people when they call me "dude" or "man" or "brah". I figure I don't care if they are male or female, why would they care if I am? I don't get any inherent bonuses in game for being one or the other. It's not like a +2 bonus for charisma/diplomacy because I may or may not have *****, so I don't have to shove them into people's faces to make sure they know they are there. I guess, in a way, telling someone my gender goes along with telling them what I do for a living or maybe where I'm from. All of that comes with trust and getting to know them a bit better as you go along, usually in a guild or if you happen to make a friend you run into repeatedly in game. I mean, if you're just someone I quested with once, why would I think you care about me other than whether or not I got the accomplished the goals we set out for? Also, this whole male gamers are mouth breathers attitude is kinda crappy. I feel bad for you guys. All these women walk around acting like you just can't control yourselves around them and therefore, they have to hide themselves away so you won't harrass them. I have never had a bad experience with male gamers, not in the going on 10 years that I have been playing MMOs. Gender is a non-factor in game. I don't understand why people still have to make it out like it means something. Just do your research and play well and it doesn't matter what you look like or sound like or what kind of toon you play, yo.
