I don't understand why they're surprised. Gaming has been mainstream for many many years now and women are half the population.
first they took our jerbs, then they took our 'obbies, what's next, are they going to demand equal pay as well??!???!?!?!?11
I admire your effort to seamlessly characterise misogyny on both sides of the Atlantic!
what can I say, I believe in equal opportunity
More Americans elide their haitches than brits, IME as brit that lived in the US for a while.
There are some words that don't get h's here, like herb ("erb"), but I've never heard anyone say 'obbies, at least on the west coast.
Some of them have a sliver of an excuse, as from my childhood until I was at least in my late 20s, gaming was the realm of kids and geeks with no social life (according to populate opinion). And some people have trouble changing their understanding of the world after a certain point in their lives.
They probably also have a lot of other issues as that kind of mindset can affect a lot of other things, but that is the way some people are.
