I'm curious how you mean to verify lack of creepy dudeness. |

I probably wouldn't even bother explaining the nuances of patriarchy to most of the forumgoers, you'll wind up bogged down in semantics rather than the reality of the situation.
The responses I am anticipating to this explanation include "but not all guys are like that, you're generalising!", "sexism works both ways!" and "I'm one of the nice guys!", totally oblivious to the tried and true tropes they are trotting out.
The overwhelming majority of the people you are explaining this to are positively affected by the situation giving them no reason to put any thought into it and plenty of reason to ignore it. If they want to educate themselves, the internets are FULL of resources to do so. |

Not disagreeing with what you said but sexism is a two way street, its just like with racism its assumed that it only applies one way which is itself racist/sexist. And it really is ****** that people act like such douches to anyone perceived as being different from the norm, in this case female gamers.
Speaking very roughly, because I have some faith in your ability to engage on the topic (though a long conversation about it probably doesn't belong here), sexism, like racism, when spoken about academically are a combination of prejudice towards a particular group and the power to act upon that prejudice.
It's pretty easy, as a guy, to be totally oblivious to the power that our Western society allows us to exert, comparative to a woman of otherwise equal social status... because experience has taught us that it's just how things work.

Your gender is not determined by what's in your pants or under your skirt. Wtf!? Says who? Science? Research? Doubt it, So I can switch to a male any time I want and then switch back to a female whenever I feel like it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender
EDIT: Sorry it's a wiki link but I'm not going to explain the entire social science domain of gender studies in response to a post on the DUST forums and the wiki has the info or links to the info if you're actually interested. |

Maybe twice. Careful not to give the impression that women with an opinion make you uncomfortable ;) |

Link?
EDIT: Or are you specifically referring to the duplicate of this thread which occurred at a time when a number of other new posts were hit by a double post? Because if so, that's a pretty dishonest representation of the situation.
EDITTOEDIT: The only other "female only" thread by this OP, seeing as you specifically complained about this OP, is here and is not locked. |

You tell the website "post this" and it bugs out and does it twice or tells you it didn't so you click the button again, same as double-posting a reply.
This poor thread is getting derailed to all hell. |
