I pretty much gave up online gaming a long time ago because of the crap being spouted constantly and I'm not even female.
It didn't used to be like this. I had a great time online with Everquest for years. What made it work was strict moderation and a permanent user ID tied to your character, which could easily get banned if you crossed the line. All communication in text made moderation easy too of course.
I only play GT5 online now and then, and sure there are idiots there too and no female players to be heard. Play with people you know is the only solution atm. No wonder my wife and all her friends only play facebook games nowadays. Tired of every game starting with ASL prompts from every male player.
