Don't you think women are just as capable defending and taking care of themselves as men? Why are you saying men have to go out of their way to protect and act differently towards women online? You could just act and talk normally to both men and women, at the same time. There is no reason to treat others differently because they are different than you or me. You are treating women as victims who need to be protected and saved when in reality people could just act normally.

How. If this was real life then sure they could defend themselves but are you can clearly see (or not at this point I losings all hope in you) that I am talking about a video game setting, How do you stop someone from messaging you, or following you. They could just turn off the game but that might turn the girl off to all multiplayer gaming setting and that's not what we want. I'm saying all these things because some guys like to creep on female gamers, but according to you that never happens, because in your crazy little world everyone is respectful of one another and no one says anything bad at all. Kid, this is how the world works, not everyone is a good person, not everyone respect one another, and not everyone thinks that creeping on female gamers is wrong.

Wait so women are perfectly capable of defending themselves from sexual harassment in real life but not in video games where you take away the physical properties of strength and the potential for bodily harm? So that only leaves mental capability in the equation, so in your post your are the one being sexist through the shear fact that you are arguing that women can't defend themselves in video games where the only element is mental. Their for through your comments you are inadvertently arguing that women are mentally weaker where as everyone who is arguing that they should be treated as equals is recognizing the fact that they are mental equals.
