So they're not extinct...

Actually, if their problem was that Chaos_Kitten is a better player than them and they cannot suffer it to the point of being sexist, they would be quite miserable.
But guys ARE better than girls. At least when it comes to fighting. I should know, I'm captain of a Taekwondo club. And, uh, out of 12 medals our club won this past year, 10 were girls'. One of them, I ended nominating as Most Valuable Player (New York University).
Sexist comments are seldom heard in our club, and only from me. Because I'm the only dickhead willing to risk being kicked in the... head... before the words are out of my mouth. Much more effective than having your character do the smackdown.
Okay, I'm pretty OT here. But I do think that those gamers should meet some of the girls in my club. They tend not to accept sexist comments with a smile, and some can indeed kick pretty hard. Some of the hardest kicks I've ever received were from a female 4th-dan black belt from Korea. Man, it still hurts just thinking about it.
Just rambling. Actually, none of the girls in my club is a gamer, and if one was, I can tell she would just walk away, not kick or smile or try to discuss with such losers. I'd certainly be the only one short-tempered enough to get openly angry. Gamers still have enough of a bad name as it is, without such morons feeding the fire.
