Why don't girls stick around?

NPR had a piece titled "Online Harassment Gets Real For Female Gamers".

I see some truth in it when applied to Aces High.

Aces High is softball compared to many other games. There was a woman who played COD in our group and the amount of harassment she got was stunning.

Usually Iin my experience they dont stick around becasue they sober up.

Softball or not, it's bad for the game IMHO. 

I can only imagine the crap that gets said in games dominated by teens and 20 somethings.

IMO, I have found most of the guys that play AH are quite respectful.
But every now and then you get the odd one that likes to try to ruin your day...
usually when I shoot them down and it squashes their manliness...hehehe...

Thank you for proving the point that harassment exists and mindless trolls like you should be called on it especially in the MA.

You're accusing me of harassment?

[Nathan60]

He didn't take what I said in the way I ment and either Shegotya didnt take it the way it was intended or shes not joking.

Damn squaddies always  standing up to defend me from detractors even when its self inflicted.

Most of the crap I've seen girls receive is invariably from grade-schoolers

The guild I was in in World of Warcraft was probably 30% women. Of course WoW attracts a different player then first person shooters or Aces High.
