Just like life, you get what you put into these games.
My experience has been quite different than many of the posts in this thread. The girls who have caused the most drama were either a.) looking for attention from guys, b.) 13 or younger, or c.) both.
For the most part, I played with the kind of people that I like to hang out with irl. Smart, dedicated people who are also really chill. I was in a raiding guild on wow that was in the top five 25m guilds on our server, and 1/3 of our raid force were female. 2 of which were officers (myself as the dps officer, another as the heal officer). Both of us pulled top numbers and earned our spots after a lot of hard work, they were not given to us.
As for me, I just play. Being female doesn't give me an advantage unless I actively persue one, and I don't need to. I'm better than that, and many of the girls I played with felt the same way.
And on a final note - those girls that discriminate against other girls are just perpetuating a stereotype. Grow the fuck up, not every girl is a threat to you. Get some self-respect.
