Not at all. I just don't see how gender has anything at all to do with the multiplayer experience.
You don't see me saying "Us guy gamers have to stick together"
Having seen first hand the kind of ridiculous harrassment that my wife and daughter have received over XBL, yeah, there are plenty of people who care, and not all of them kids. Adult men as well. It's sickening. My daugher (an adult now), still typically stays in private chat parties. I get why women would prefer to game with other women rather than randoms. You should be able to enjoy a game, using voicechat, without a realistic chance of being called a c**t, w****e, b***h, and worse. But that's not the case on consoles using voicechat.
My wife on the otherhand...grew up on a farm around ranchers, farmers and truck drivers. She can out swear most drill seargeants. Plus her degree is in criminal justice and she spent a lot of time around prosecutors' offices, juvenile detention centers and jails. It's kind of funny when someone does try to talk down to her on voice chat. If it's a kid, she'll just mute them. But when it's an adult....hell hath no fury.
