You know no matter what statistics or facts or experiences people bring to this thread isn't going to matter at this point. There's the die hard boys club camp on one side, white knight wannabes on another, hardcore feminists, girls who just want to play and their male counterparts regardless of your groups sex and I think it's fairly impossible to sway the opinions of any of them. I think out of all the posts I like Spitty's the most, we'll thought out, to the point and zero bullshit.
In an ideal gaming community which may or may not exist somewhere down the line, it won't matter anymore what sex you are. That time isn't now though, and I think this thread is a testament to it.
Really don't think I have anything else to contribute to it, some folks probably feel I didn't have any in the first place but that's ok. At the end of the day I get on to game, have fun in the few hours I can, then get back to the real world, and I think that's something we can agree that regardless of sex at this stage of the game most of us have in common.

Sex/Gender will always matter, because of "sex". It will just take on different tones.
That aside, I think a lot of the "men are better" stems from stupid ideals about the rest of activities outside of a PC. Sports used to be pretty male dominated, and so was gaming. Now, not so much on the sports, but it still exists and so people hold on to that prejudice which makes FAR less sense in the gaming world...since its not a matter of physical ability.
But because gamers had the stigma of basement dwelling virgins the idea of being used by women came out as well..it's all bullshit that people just don't let go of. Some people do use other people, but its on both sides. The men are trying to get something out of their "generosity" so they are just as bad.
