Being A Female Gamer

Tweet

First off are there any female gamers on here? Second, do you have to deal with the kind of crap I deal with? Everytime I go into a game on live, and all the other gamers find out I am a female, they either harrass me or talk dirty to me. Being a female gamer is a true skill, we have to deal with overly hormonal men and boys who think they are the greatest things ever. We have to deal with sexist pigs, who can't handle the fact that a women, yes a women, can beat them at video games. I am under constant scrutiny whenever i join a game on live. I've heard it all from people telling me about their "manparts"(if you have to talk about it that much,obviously you're over compensating for the lack there of), to men calling the a c*** or a B**** because heaven forid I am actually better then you, and I can actually play the game, or have in oppinion and call you out when all you do is camp or jump around like an idiot. There is no true skill in camping or jumping to avoid death. I both love an hate being a female gamer. We're a rare breed indeed, and most are awesome although I have met a few female gamers who were well less then spectacular. In the same reguard I hate being a female gamer, because most of the idiots who play cant handle a women not only playing the same game as them but doing it better. I had on whole lobby (COD4) of guys call me everything in the book because i called them out on their crap, then I had another guy stalk me through sven different games in COD4 even after I blocked communications with him, avoided him as a player, and submitted a player review. Anyone else have simmilar experiences? Men feel free to comment and explain to me why it is that men cant handle a female gamer?
