Alright, guys, time for some real because, I've been reading through this thread, man, and quite honestly I see a lot of confused people, people who don't have the facts straight. And, guys, it makes perfect sense cause if you think about it you know: A thread about females in Dust 514 forums is bound to be a little uninformed to say the least and I just felt the need to respond. Well if you guys know me, then you know that I'm gonna respond with some hard facts accompanied by some strict values.

First of all, guys, let me address this strange notion that it shouldn't matter whether it's a man or a woman playing with you in a squad. I think that's bullcrap! Let me tell you exactly why it's bullcrap, boys and girls, and let me start of by admitting that I don't know where you guys are from, but where I come from men and women are different. Plain and simple. We know that women are more sensitive and more emotional, so all you guys out there better treat them ladies with respect and with good manners and I don't give a **** how liberal or homosexual you are, you should still have some respect. And if you guys happen to be talking with a girl who's voice you find sexy, throw a couple of dirty jokes into the mix to make her giggle just enough for her to warm up a bit.

That's it for the values, guys. Now let me throw in a little factoid here that a lot of you guys seem to have missed. Men have better reflexes than women do! And reflexes are important in a game like Dust 514, and I don't care what role you play. Now a woman who works hard to make her gun game better will still beat an average dude, but an excellent male will always beat an excellent female. I don't say that in a bad way, but those are the facts. So guys let's be honest here, let's respect our women in Dust and let's pay a little bit attention to our manners when we have one of those beautiful ladies in our squad. Peace out!

Not a troll, bro. Just acknowledging the differences between men and women. I mean it's normal to treat women like women and men like men. I mean my God, we're different!

Well here's the thing, dude, and I'm still not trolling or trying to "get" people. Now it's a known fact the men have better reflexes than women. There are countless of studies and examples of that. That's a fact. Second thing is, I didn't call women weak or emotionally unstable. I just said they are more emotional than us guys, and I think that's a commonly accepted view. And by the way, I don't think being emotional is a bad thing. I mean, I'm the first one to admit that I'm an emotional dude, no big deal. Just stating that women and men are different and I don't know about you but I prefer to be treated like a man both offline and online.

Yeah, no.

I'm a girl and have played FPSes pretty much all my life. I've played competitive TF2, CSS, DoD:S, BC2, etc. I play with the best of them, but I mean, don't take my word for it. (those who have seen my bad days in DUST, let's not talk about that :P)

If you are the reading type, I suggest reading Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine. It takes these "studies" and debunks them and basically explains why they aren't unbiased objective experiments and how the data is being manipulated.

Oh yeah, man, I do know them well enough. I'm a good people person, I know people. Trust me, bro. But here's the thing dude, and you don't need to get offensive about this whole deal, man, because I did indeed provide you with a study about human reaction times and while it might not be fool proof there are many others out there. I accept your way of communicating to people, no problem with that. My point is that women and men are different, I make jokes about gender roles and yeah, sometimes I cross that line but you can be sure that I do apologise each and every time. None of us is perfect and I've got my own flaws but I guarantee you that I don't mean any bad feelings for anyone.
