Female Gamer looking for More Female Gamer Friends
-
So if you're a female gamer whose friend and guild list is comprised of 98 percent males (who you play with on a daily basis) and you want to find some female players to chat and socialize with you have two options:
Post a thread on the forums. Oh wait, if you do that, you'll be insulted, accused of being sexist, a feminist, and an attention seeker.
Join a female guild. Oh wait, if you do that, you'll be accused of being a feminist and sexist.
Finding other females in the game was hard for me. Joining a female guild made it much easier to find other females to play with. Please don't assume that just because someone is in a female guild it means that they won't play with or don't like male gamers.
...And there are male only guilds in the guild section. Do I think they're sexist? Absolutely not.

Tbh, I've never had any major negative experiences specifically because of my gender. If I understand, it's only because I heard what sometimes happens to others, but this is what anyone could hear, so being a man doesn't prevent you from understanding.I don't really understand this kind of subtle discrimination. It's probably because i play without a mic or even audio coming from the game, but i really do not care about peoples gender. It makes no difference, theres some good people, some bad people, some who don't care. But at the end of the day, we're all just people. I can guess it's more about past experiences, experiences which i can't truly see i've lived, as being from the opposite gender.
Mind you, i'm not trying to talk from a high horse. Obviously, i can conceive some people want to play with others who are more akin to themselves than other players, and it would be ridiculous to keep you from doing so.
All in all, good luck

You don't really understand it because you aren't a woman.
Understanding secondhand through what someone else may have experienced is a long way away from directly and personally experiencing the struggles and hardships firsthand. It is impossible for men to truly understand what it is like to be a woman in a male dominated society, and (specifically) the male dominated and highly misogynistic realm of online gaming.

Then I guess I don't truly understand it either. Fair enough.

Well put. Thank you.3 -
Banky71✭✭✭✭I'm sorry you are having a hard time finding other ladies to play with. If you were on xbone I'm sure my GF would pair up with you and would leave me out of it.If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

Yes, i understand that, and mentionned it too. Please, re-read my post, especially that part: " I can guess it's more about past experiences, experiences which i can't truly see i've lived, as being from the opposite gender."
Thanks you.1 -
