I've been browsing through a thread and saw links to a couple other threads detailing aftermaths of females posting threads that attracted a significant amount of male interests.
I can't help but start to think:
Should gender that big of a deal on a gaming site?
 
End of blog.

 
 
(Please don't quest spam. It's just annoying and pointless.)
 

 
The answer to that is a yes, although the ideal answer should be a no.
 
Let's face it. Most of us are guys. Number of females into video games are relatively few compared to the number of males. That leads to gaming sites, to some of our beliefs, consist of mostly males, making female members "stand out".
Some of us males find females who are into "things men are interested into" attractive, because they like what we like, and are of opposite gender. That's awesome, right?
 
According to my speculation, extreme cases view them as individuals so mind-blowingly awesome to a point where nobody can be them.
I mean, they are just too awesome that it's impossible for them to exist. A person who likes video games and has a vagina? Can it even be physically possible?
To these extreme cases, the answer is no, and thus leading to a bunch of doubts towards these female members' "actual" gender.
 
And then there are those who suck up to them. No, nothing that special really. A girl that shares interests as you do? You will want to impress her. It comes as a part of natural instincts within ourselves to do that. It's kind of like a hook up in a casual situation. In this case, it's the internet, only the outcome is both sides will never ever get to meet one another. It happens, although my philosophy to life is to be myself without being a prick towards other (and I'm trying hard to do that). That's why I'm not really a fan to sucking up to anyone, although I might have done that anyways, as it came as part of my natural instincts.
 
So that my friend, is my not-so-in-depth and likely-inaccurate take on the female members situation on the site.
 
But then, the internet is a place where we get to post our views on something anonymously. Yes, our username is an identity, but it's just a mere representation of ourselves on the internet so we could be held accountable for what we say. Gender shouldn't be the point of the identity. Rather, the content we post should be the main focus on our identites. 
Gaming sites are no exceptions.
So people, don't make a big deal out of you / she being female or not. It isn't supposed to matter.
 
P.S. Please don't hate me or post pictures of sarcasm. If you don't understand or don't like my post, just tell me why and I'll try my best to explain / improve. There's no reason to hate and be a prick. And no, this is not an attempt on quest spam. The quality of the post might be poor but I actually took 30 mins to come up with this.
