That's like asking why a 5th grader would push a girl. The answer is normally... [spoiler]because he likes her and doesn't know how to express it.[/spoiler] Either that, or he's trying to show off for his friends. I feel like most guys get really nervous playing with me (a grill). Whether they think it's because I'm going to judge them harshly or because they haven't encountered a female gamer before or they're just shy people, I don't know. Sexual comments, to me, are mostly playful. "Get back in the kitchen." Is a common opener, which is fine. Sometimes used in a funny context, and sometimes used aggressively. You simply respond with "But why? There's no men here to make a sandwich for, just little boys." And then roll on with the process. I think they're assuming everyone joining will be male, because that's the norm in gaming, so having a girl there is like "SURPRISE, BITCHES!" One guy thought I was a squeaker, because I wasn't talking a whole lot. When he aggressively asked me how old I was, I laughed and answered "29. And a chick." His entire demeanor changed. He stopped being an asshole and started stuttering, because he had never played with a girl before. I told him that I was just like a dude, except for the boobs and other hardware.
