very few eve females will actually admit it outside their close circle of friends, some women will use their gender to get desperate virgins to give them free stuff, men will also pretend to be female for the same reason

time and time again if theres a girl talking on vent/ts/whatever idiots will most always start talking crap asking for pics and all that, usually gets the the point they get podded for their lack of maturity

eve actually does have a pretty good female population they just dont run around telling everyone unless they want to be spammed by idiots

Being a female in this game is not an easy en devour. On one hand, you do feel lonely because of your gender, and it's hard to communicate or make friends without people figuring it out that you're female.

One thing I hate, is the feeling that women should hide their gender because of the attention it gives them. That's ridiculous - if people want to fawn over women, or give them things or act a fool in that regard - why is the woman always blamed and berated? In some cases, yes, someone may be using that to their advantage but in this day and age it is almost just the assumption. Even other females will make snide catty remarks at another female. Which is ridiculous.

If a girl wants to come on here and ask for other females - so be it. Who cares. There's tons of women who play eve and probably more hiding because of the misogynistic bullshit and hate that we get. Just for being female.

Also, there's all this talk about how if a women mentions her gender she automatically must think she's better than other people. What the **** weird paranoid conclusion is that? Personally I have never EVER thought I was a better player or more important than ANYONE in eve because of my gender. In fact, I'm embarrassed that people even think or assume that about anyone.

I don't think anyone should have to hide who they are, regardless of being gay, trans, female, male or extremely unintelligent - and obviously some people in eve agree with me in one aspect.

"Attention Whore" is an overused statement that almost always is being misused. Anyone posting a thread asking ANY QUESTION, is wanting attention to their question. Anyone who makes content regarding eve, WANTS THAT CONTENT TO BE SEEN. Attention whores, are people who will stop at nothing for you to pay attention to them regardless of what they are doing. Negative or positive. There are many more MALES in eve online who will stop at absolutely nothing for even a moment of attention from anyone. Far much less than myself or other females that get talked **** about on a daily/weekly basis.

Get over yourself - and grow up. This misogynistic and hate behavior outside of the game, or even in game for that matter, should not be tolerated.

There is a group called Women Gamers of Eve (WGoE) who have a community around this. Their public channel in game is "WGoE=public", and I'm pretty sure they have a private channel for "confirmed" women.

yes they do.

Mint some of my freinds play EvE with there partners/Wives/boifreinds(yes I spelled that right)/girlfreinds/sisters. Some of them dont have full time jobs or school so they tend to be very good at EvE compared to there partners.

Granted some of them spend more time in eve and suck at it more than I do.

What? I play eve knowing im going to get blown up. It would not save time for me to self destruct my ship in the dock.

Girls. Boys. Who gives a damn. If it has isk it's a valid target.

And I still wonder whether this ancient mentality can be exploited for profit.....

Issue, Gamers are 90% male, and most are usually not very capable at dealing with the opposite sex.
Case in point, Girl speaks up on Fleet comms, and suddenly half the fleet is more interested in hearing her talk dirty, than fighting the fight.....Fleet comms go to hell, people die....and the kids are still trying to make a female friend....Cool


Immaturity seems to be something that many gamers never grow out of....Oops

I personally know of at least 2 dozen women that play EVE, none of whom would ever refer to themselves as "girl gamers". Women that play EVE, yes, but not "girl" anything, since that denotes pre-pubescence.

Misogyny is the dislike or hatred of females. I would say most male players in this game are not active haters of females, so misogyny is an improper term.

We make fun of EVERYONE, men are immature little turd monkeys that fling keyboard poo at everyone they see.. even our best friends.

You Are Not Special. Your Vagina Does Not Make You Special. Get Over It.


p.s. no girls in eve, pretty sure mintchip is bailey jay's brother.
