From experience, I know that most people online know only of women as mystical creatures with a slightly different number of chromosomes than them. Therefore, they react to a woman playing video games as, say, I would react to seeing a fairy.
I guess some women understand this and exploit it, but I've never come across it. Mainly, because I don't play online anymore. Ever. Halo taught me that much.
