Why do men treat women gamers bad? I legit want true honesty here (open up)

Hey there, I'm a gamer from Texas. I have a legit question I really want to know. After encountering so many rude remarks flirting, or even observing fellow female gamers yelled at/cat called...I really wanna know why a lot if you Lads don't like women? There would be times nothing would happen and yelling name calling and harassment would arise. Almost all of the times the lady gamer werent doing anything and the male would pick at her. Either being sexual or really aggressive. I noticed male gamers would get super mad when she would try to defend herself as if she had no right to defend herself. Then there are the few sweet guys that are super quiet guys. Only 1% percent out of 99 percent. Just tell me a simple sentence of what your attitude towards women is, in the gaming community. Is it Jealousy? Nervousness? No contact with women? Or you just don't like women gaming? Thanks.[spoiler]im watching he honest ok....[/spoiler]

    It's great women are getting into gaming. Absolutely brilliant. As for the problematic guys... There are men, and then there are asshats. Sadly a few of us are the last one. Wolf whistles, pick up lines, etc aren't exactly a big deal and I'd recommend just dismissing them straight away, or even take them as a compliment and feel good about yourself if you can. If it gets annoying and you're sick of it, leave the game. If they're being are being utterly nasty or sexual, leave immediately and report them. Also, one tip. Find a clan. There are many clans accepting of gender, race and sexual preference so it might be a good way to put an end to this sort of thing. Best way to do this is in the recruitment forum. Ask for a clan that has no issues with playing with you and won't do this sort of thing. Be prepared for a little salt in the forums but you hopefully will find a good one. That's about all I can think of really. Wish you luck in all your endeavours. In game or otherwise.
