Here is an interesting topic I stumbled upon when I was looking for other bloggers who play Counter Strike. When I read this my mouth fell open!

But I've noticed, while playing CS, that when a player admits she is a woman,
two things happen: one, she immediately has a huge target right on her forehead
- the rest of the server (generally all male) go all out trying to kill the
female player as fast and as violently as they can. And second, the male players
are generally embarrassed that they have been killed by a woman (it's really
offensive, actually) - and men who weren't killed by this particular woman, rag
on the other guys who were. Pairing this with the second statistic, that less
than 1% of game coders are women, well, clearly core gaming is a mans world.
There is NO respect for female gamers unless their skill level far exceeds most
men that they are playing against.

And here is my reply..

I hope I wasn't to hars but that is the biggist noncence I have ever heard!

I would like to comment on this, I play counter strike:
Condition Zero and I never ever had any disrespect from males (unless I piss
them off) and that is not because my skills are amazing. Also I don;t have a
huge target on my forhead when they hear my voice and discover I am a female. So
I dont know what servers you go on, but you are obviously in the wrong
place.
