Well since you're a female, I know that at least half of that post is a lie. :p
 
well there is always this all female gamer site
http://www.pmsclan.com/
yes I am a member there as well

Pandora's Mighty Soldiers (PMS Clan) is the world's largest multi-platform online female gaming group on Xbox, PC and PlayStation platforms. The main focus of PMS Clan extends beyond playing our best.
............................................................................................................
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a fun, competitive, and positive environment
to female gamers while promoting respect for women in matches
and tournaments
 
oh that's what it means. That's clearly the image that comes to mind after all, pandora, soldiers, all that.
 
Q. Please tell us about the beginnings of PMS Clan and how did you manage to take it where it is today in an industry that is mostly dominated by men.
A. With the launch of Xbox Live, my sister and I were introduced to something that would change our gaming lives forever…the headset. Once we were able to identify other female in the game, we began searching them out to start a clan. Myself, Athena, PMS Blues, Fraggity Ann and Wildthing were the first leaders of the clan, and at first we did it just for the fun of some girls kicking butt together. However, once Xbox Live grew and the mass influx of harassment and sexism started, we knew we needed to refocus our mission to providing a safe and positive competitive environment for female gamers.
Q. Tell us about PMS Clan today, how it has grown since it was founded?
A. PMS Clan has over 1000 girl globally and we now have divisions in North America, South America, Asia and Europe. To align with our mission statement of providing a competitive and positive environment for women in gaming, we opened a brother group, H2O Clan, to find a home for the male gamers that supported us. We are a huge global family and it constantly amazes me the time, energy and resources all of us volunteer to keep our organization strong and rewarding.
Q. PMS Clan is known worldwide as the largest female gaming clan around the globe, but what some people don’t know is that PMS Clan also helps different charity causes with an initiative called Pandora’s Hope. Please tell us about this initiative and what have PMS Clan accomplished so far.
A. Officially, we have helped raised over $70,000 for charities and members have done drives on their own for even more. I take pride in the fact that so many of our members want to give back in ways that are meaningful and go pat the simplicity of just playing a game.

I see at least one guy who is a member of that site. So it's not only female gamers then?

tl;dr
 
I feel bad for female gamers who get harassed by guys.
Otherwise, I don't care about them any more than any other gamer, moviegoer, general pedestrian.
 
I have a 11 year old daughter that only wants the wii u for christmas and will play minecraft the whole day if you let her. Her and my son are always playing games together. She is just as much a gamer as I was at her age and just as much into sports too.

At least they're portrayed that way on the internet. My guess is the majority of them don't play in their underwear though.

That's partially true. (Well, mostly true). I think a lot of it is EHRMAGERD, BEWBS = HAWT! But I think that's more just the concept of gamer girls being hot - generally speaking, once it goes from concept to actual girl, the reaction is mostly formulaic: if the guy wants to and thinks he has a chance to sleep with the girl, she's hot, otherwise she's a troll.
 
I always thought female video gamers = into anal.

ok what about mature gamers?
guess I need to start a thread for us old folks

Do one with a poll asking what everyone's ages are. We had one recent thread where people were introducing themselves and saying their ages and I was pleasantly surprised to see many over 30 and 40 (I'm 49). I remember hearing something about five years ago that the average gamer was 37 or something around that.
