Bah, I hate to think that jerks like that would prevent you from revealing that you are a female gamer. I'm only 26, but in the past 5-6 years of gaming in online communities, I have seen a HUGE jump in the number of females playing and contributing to the gaming community. I for one am glad that this is happening, because frankly, I think it to some degree curtails some of the immature idiots out there. Not to say that there aren't female gamers out there that aren't immature, but on a whole females are more mature at an earlier age (I'm not afraid to say it gentlemen).

Don't hide yourself on the internet. Be vocal, and do what you can to add to the online community the best way you can.

That's why I didn't hesitate to reveal it here. Everyone here seems pretty cool and there's a few open female gamers here so I figured I'd add myself to the ranks.
