RE: How to be a female gamer surrounded by dudes

in #gaming7 years ago

Honestly, I don't believe that women experience more harassment then men do in gaming, it's just targeted at their gender more rather then for men. And for a very simple reason that you as well seem to point out. Women are just much rarer then men in gaming, thus making the gender a very prominent feature.

And I don't like you using the word misogyny in the begging, because I don't believe 99% of gamers actually hate women, but otherwise - this is a great article for how to avoid potential harassment aimed at your gender. But I would still say you will most likely still get harassed - just in the ways men usually get harassed.

Great post! Would you mind if I included it in today's "best of gaming"?

No worries! Would be absolutely be ok to be included in today's best of gaming! Thank you so much for your feedback! Steemit feedback is always constructive and informative. I'd certainly get a different treatment on other social media platforms!
