I'm gonna be referring to this study stating that men become more stupid around women, even in online interactions. I think most of us who have been playing MMORPGs know how most men go completely crazy around women, giving them items and such. Or in the FPS genre where there is voice chat, how suddenly everything becomes focused on that one girl in the game.

In real world sports, women always have their own branch or sport, female soccer, female volleyball, etc. because they are genetically physically weaker. And that's exactly as it should be! Just because men have an advantage physically doesn't mean women shouldn't be able to play sport competitively.

That's the real world, but in the online world men are at a psychological disadvantage. So why can't men be allowed to wish to play without women? I mean unfortunately their mere presence is ruining the game for the men playing it. It sucks for both genders, but that's just how it is.

The beautiful thing about online gaming is that you rarely have to give out your real life identity, so actually having two separate games for each gender isn't needed. But in the places where you can reveal your gender I would wish for females to try to hide it as much as possible. I don't think females shouldn't use voice chat as that's often the only way to communicate, but at least try to avoid it if possible. Although the voice chat problem will probably go away in time when voice filters are more and more introduced, but it still doesn't prevent someone from revealing their gender.

tl;dr: men go crazy around women so why can't men be allowed to play games without them?

Also, I'm not sure if I break the last rule, but I don't want to talk about such a controversial topic with my main and I just don't have an old alt account to use. Sorry :/

Edit: to clear things up, I don't think anyone should be excluded for any reason. If voice chat is the only way to communicate, then everyone should be allowed to use it. However I think that when women are stating their gender when it's not needed, it should be seen as exploiting a weakness in guys. And if guys then complain about it it shouldn't be seen as misogyny.
