Plenty of women play eve,
they just don't interact with the sort of players that breath heavily in the comms care that they're women.

Eve doesn't give a damn about your gender so why should I?  I care in the sense that we are probably missing out on a lot of good players because EVE, for whatever reason, does not seem to appeal to even the large number of women who enjoy science fiction. I suspect that this lack of appeal is mostly because of eve's visual style or lack thereof, instead of any game mechanics. It's not that we'd need to make EVE appeal to your stereotypical highschool girl, no. The problem is that even the women who are enthusiastic fangirls of Asimov, Star Trek, Frank Herbert, Sci-Fi TTRPG:s etc. go "meh" and move on when they see EVE. We fail to reach even the core demographic of science fiction nerds.
Or
there's actually plenty they just don't publicly identify as female.
In the short time iv been PvP ing and interacting with the community iv come across a few (more than ye would expect) and they've liked eve for the same reasons I have,
they've played eve the same way I have,
they're just as ruthless as the next man,
The only issue I see is when they do join a Corp,
the teenagers and neckbeards lose their normal attitude and go full "omgomgomg a lady gamer waaaaaaw....quick, act natural" '****** and make everyone cringe,
no one enjoys that.
Those I have met tend to hang out with the adults -who couldn't care less about their gender-
I would advise ye against thinking of them as any different from yourselves

EVE is a very visually bland game, especially in the core game play of purple boxes, red boxes and red crosses that we spend most of our time interacting with. Walking in stations and modernized ship designs might help some, maybe.
ill have to disagree on that.

"women" don't suck at anything, individuals do. But I wasn't talking about skill at playing a game, I'm talking about temperment.
Now, that's some fancy back-pedaling. Yet, even here you can't stop showing your prejudice. Now it's a "temperamental" thing. Yeah, buoy. Give 'em enough rope. When finding themselves deeper and deeper in a hole, intelligent people will usually stop digging.

oh man this got ugly,
not quite ugly enough to warrant a lock but still pretty ugly.

That says pretty much everything you need to know about them.
derp,
no ,
discussions with belligerent morons end like that .
sweeping generalisations are bad mkaaaay
my partner is a feminist and we have never argued once over the subject and we argue over -everything-

bullshit I'll repeat that I in no way said that men can't suffer from prejudice - The example you linked there is obviously awful. It's just not called "sexism", in the conventional sense of the term, in the same sense that racism isn't called racism when it's targetted at non-minorities even though it's still harmful and a bad thing to do - Because it's not describing a grand scale social phenomenon, but rather a specific instance of crappiness.
its sexism .
if you cant tell that then get the **** off your soap box and go back to whatever echo chamber you came from

Unless that is you're admitting that feminism does not view males as people. I'm not redefining the English language. Sexism - As in, the term - Was created to define prejudice against women. It's only very recently that men have started adopting it to apply it to themselves. And I don't know how many times I can repeat that I understand and sympathize with lots of men who are also victims of discrimination. Everyone is a victim of the societies oppression and bias, men very much included. Ralph King-Griffin wrote:its sexism . if you cant tell that then get the **** off your soap box and go back to whatever echo chamber you came from You guys are getting really mad over this one little thing I didn't even intend to focus the post on. I shouldn't have added that part at all. If you want to call prejudice against men "sexism", I'm not going to tell you you're a terrible person or anything like that - Go nuts. It's a quibble. The fact that I personally wouldn't describe it with that term doesn't mean that I'm saying that prejudice doesn't exist or isn't an issue. It is an issue. It's bad. I think it is an equally important issue if not one of the same level of magnitude in terms of society.
its the same issue,
you probably shouldn't be talking about it if you don't understand this.
you know, before you offend someone.
