Women of Norrath, what's your experience?

Just popping in to say that after perusing this thread I've found that even the more socially progressive and ostensibly tolerant posts are frighteningly misogynistic and sexist. I'm glad I barely ever run into most of you in game.

Ive rarely had a good experience with women who are the girlfriend of my gaming friends. I find it hard to call them out on shit due to personal relationships. I however expect that to be rare. Not the norm. Gaming equality requires someone to be able to be called a "Dick
Butt" for not picking up that offtank, and a "dick cunt" if the female can't puck it up. Gaming culture is not humane, or decent. The games are not humane or decent. Any aficionados of digital bloodsport should take the culture or groom a corner of the culture the way they see fit(advertising a server or creating a good circle). Unless it turns into harrasment or stalking, calling an idiot an idiot should be fair game.


Ya idiots. Postin in a troll thread.

I recently got in a discussion with some of my friends about how awful sour grapes antagonizing neckbeards and white-knight neckbeards are in WoW and LoL. Was wondering what sort of things you guys face or if you have any funny/disturbing stories about being female in EQ?

What I find curious is why would 'evil neckbeards' harass a female player - without knowing she was female?
Additionally, since we know most female characters are male, then I'd suspect people are more cautious about assuming the player is actually female.

Ultimately, it's very easy -especially in a text driven game like EQ- that no one will ever know unless you tell them - and why would you do that when you know it provides no direct benefit and only opens the door to complications?

The reality it's about adoration and adulation. Women only give that information out because it suits them to some degree or some purpose.
Best thing a chick can do is play a male character - solved.

There's a lot of misogyny and guys think it's funny. There's a reason I play a male toon.
