I'm a guy, but I don't play online much... I have many reasons I prefer singleplayer that are unrelated to the topic, but one of the reasons is because online gaming communities are full of dicks. It's a sad truth that I've tried to ignore, but gaming sadly seems to attract a lot of lonely repressed losers who then proceed to take out their frustrations by insulting people online... If you're a female gamer it must be even worse because then you have to put up with their pathetic advances too.
and I don't even play XboxLive.. I'm a PC gamer. Still, everytime I try a multiplayer game I just find a bunch of squeaky midgets insulting each other... Even today, I decided to check out QuakeLive because I was bored - first match I joined there was a guy telling people to fuck off when they managed to frag him... and saying "die fucker" when he fragged someone.
Have I just been unlucky perhaps? Or is this the elephant in the room that nobody wants to admit is there...?

after the round is over they friendly fire me until I have to leave with insults flying to me about how chicks are stupid and what not. Or how they kill me multiple times and go into the headset saying, "Are you crying yet b*tch? or "Know your place."
Wow, that's absolutely despicable... See, sometimes I'm ashamed to be a gamer when I hear of this kind of shit happening. >_<
