We're not.

48% of gamers are women, probably more if they were honest. The stereotype is a lie.

Women tend to stay off chat and under the radar on team games because low skilled males are arseholes

    Anecdotally, I know some women who are judgmental of the hobby.

    Some women are judgmental of the hobby. Some men are judgmental of the hobby.

    There's marketing studies of video games and show a very strong feminine presence. But as @Taleya says, they stay under the radar because a feminine voice is a magnet for the worst of the worst in male behaviour.
