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]

  • Myself and my partner are a gaming couple and I have noticed her get harassed in the past and had to step in. But a couple things I have noticed are that (1) she keeps seeking out and playing with these same jerks intentionally. Many of whom are on her friends list. (2) when this happens for long enough she claims that it's all males she runs into when I'm not around. So this leads her to not even try to find new people. (3) after I convince her to block these players and find try other teammates her experience improves dramatically. The point I'm trying to make is that sometimes we poison our own experience with gaming because these toxic people are reliable. We play among thousands of people, there are always alternatives and every player is replaceable. I'm not saying this is what's happening with you, but you may want to think twice if you've let these people onto your friends list.
