Females...

yeah.. this thread has basically become people telling stories and feeling sorry.. not that that is bad or anything.. but i will now leave this thread.. and only post if there is something important lol

 

there playing halo what kind of female interaction do you think 80% of them have?

 

Misogyny. That's all there is to it. Males at the ages where puberty occurs are very aggressive, and a large portion of the males on Xbox Live are Misogynists. There's also racism, weight-based discrimination, age-based discrimination, and a whole boat-load of other forms of group-hating. In the case of misogyny, it shows as an aggressive form of superiority instead of flat-out hate, because all these young men want one thing (something that they can't get from the other hated groups).

 

lol, knowing Bnasty....
But no, he is just saying guys eat up chicks playing Halo 3 on xbox live.

 

That's right. As I said earlier, it's the anonymity that makes them fearless. In a face-to-face situation, who knows what could happen? Yes, it's a very animal-like behavior, but that's how guys are. They're just physically highly evolved animals. Take it from me, I have all the appropriate parts. I know how all those thought processes work. I know what it's like. The difference from me is that I have self control and manners. Golden rule and all that jazz.

 

It all depends on the people you talk to and what you say. I hate when girls are with their boyfriends so they automatically hate every other guy who talks to them. But just try to make jokes or something, and if they make fun of you, go after their manhood. It always works

 

Hope for the best? There's nothing you can really do, but luck might work in your favor. I mean, you could try and be bitter and offensive yourself, but that can either be uncomfortable (it is for me), or it could lead to fights (it has with me). One way or another, your gonna end up having to deal with these kinds of people at some time. We all do. The best thing for yourself is to learn to ignore the offenders and use the mute function. It can make it easier to tolerate.

 

Well, yeah thats messed up if you don't report them post there gamertags here we will.

Anyways, I got 'sexually harrassed on UNO' there is so many gay guys on there its .. amazing.

(I RAN A MILE, DELETED THE GAME)

Yeah, and one time me and my girlfriend were making out well halo was on... and the mic was tiny tad to close now everyone thinks I'm a girl in recent players.

 

Haha wow. Where was I then? Do that next time we have a game


To Radiant: it's mainly the voice that makes people start their comments. It's the same with young kids. Just asking, how old are you?

 

You don't have to stay quiet. That's why people are like this. There aren't enough girls on Halo or at least talking

 

I don't know if you meant to sound patronising, but I'm afraid that's how it comes across. The fact is that humans, male and female, are animals, strictly speaking. We're subject to the same sorts of hormonal impulses and tendencies, true we have a much more developed consciousness potentially capable of controlling them, but they're still there.

Arch3m's views on the subject seem to be a pretty solid summary, and its perfectly understandable why this bugs you so much since its such a high degree of bigotry that relies solely on the anonymity of the internet. But can I remind you that there are many other instances where the tables are turned? You can't deny that groups of young girls can be really mean and condescending towards male minorities. The fact is that puberty is the time when people, male and female, realise the significance of the gender division in what they had formerly grouped as "people" for most intensive purposes. This realisation often promotes defensive hostility due to a lack of understanding of the opposite gender, and a misplaced sense of superiority.

 

We ARE animals silly......sadly the fact that there not recognizable in real life in any way shape or form is what promotes this hormone driven behavior. As long as there are more men than women this behavior will ensue. You will sadly just have to use the mute and report functions. I wish I could give you better advice but I really can't at the end of the day all you can do is mute and report.....sorry furthermore if it makes you feel better theres somebody worse off than you such as the near several hundred people who died as I typed this up...poor guys (and women)

 

No, you're right, they don't often say things like that. But that's kinda my point, each goes with what they know. Your previous pic is actually pretty apt here. Since the hormonal focus on sex during male puberty is so strong, are you really surprised that sexual insults are the way their hormonal defensive aggression finds its way out? Not to mention that, when it comes to generally being rude and obscene, sexual terms are the strongest tools to hand in most cases.

Conversely, young females go with what their good at. My theory runs that females (in general, obviously this is far from universal, but is a useful generalisation for the purposes or argument) develop a stronger social consciouness earlier on than males. As such, their weapon of choice is a deeply personal, condescending and cutting remark. From an objective viewpoint, the only difference between this and young male sexual language is your personal hangups about being talked to in this way, or sworn at. I'm not saying that this isn't valid personal objection, and you have every right to be addressed with respect. But saying that what males do is somehow 'worse' because it involves coarse language seems a little flawed to me.
