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]

  • I don't think I've ever disrespected a girl on a game... There was this one time where there was a girl (around 17) being awful to this black kid (around 12) calling him nîgger and stuff like that and I calmly and respectively roasted her ass into the ground

    • Most guys I find in a chat or play with are nice. But some guys will treat me like I'm an idiot for doing something they did not even five minutes earlier. The condescending behavior is what ticks me off the most. A few of my "friends" on the psn have treated me like that. Knowing it's because I'm a female. I haven't played with many girls compared to guys but not once has a girl treated me like that on here.

    • I honestly don't get why people do that kind of thing. I usually choose to leave my mike off to not be screamed at for being an "immature bratty kid". It just seems that when some of the people that are used to being the best thing in the world and are shamed by someone that is different than them, they get incredibly defensive and aggressive, lashing out at anything that would pose a threat to their over inflated ego.

      • Not all of them do, there are (believe it or not) decent people who would treat you as a normal person, it's just that some of them are so thirsty that the world's oceans could not quench their thirst

          This post has been[i] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWKXtmJKtUE]taken.[/i][/url] [spoiler]Reflecting on recent posts, you are using a Feminist Bias. Abandon this. I know the truth: Females and Males are only physical, binary variables (plug, socket). Mental differences may include that females may prefer to tend a garden, where the males would build a fortress around it. In the end, both genders can damage eachother. Stop shielding those who do others harm by making them victims of their own misconduct. Furthermore, an [imbecile] has resurrected this post to insult the collective unity of mankind. 1: Identify the game(s) you were playing and what gametype lobby you saw these violations in. 2: Audio evidence required. 3: Any video evidence of ingame violation.

          tbh im prob gonna get some hate but some guys think all girl gammers are sluts or too weak to defend them self's which is not true i have met many who are super friendly and will listen and in return help back if needed. my ex and i we became a couple by meeting each other on games and the amount of sexual threats and msgs we use to get was really childish or desperate. if you are one of those ppl that treat women that play games you are a straight up twat. eh i even respect some of em cause i know some of em girl gammers can beat my ass in some games

              • Most male gamers are adolescents & are used to having a forum to be uber male as in modern society it is very much frowned upon so with the anonymity of the net they feel it's ok to be sexist & misogynistic! They generally grow out of it but not always! ;)
