[I did not write the list, dar]

With the sudden flood of "Gamer Grrl" blogs/rants/videos these past few weeks many guys have decided to come back with their own take on the situation. One such guy named Billy decided to make a list defending a guys right to make fun of girls who game. I doubt this is to be taken too seriously, but I'm not sure. Up until a few weeks ago I didn't think anyone really cared who they played with online. If I was ever being bothered by someone I stopped playing with them, I never thought of it as some epidemic of stupidity. But to some people there certainly seems to be a problem, and both sides, male and female seem to be affected. Thoughts?
Most gamers on XboxLive are male. I won't go into age, cause it ranges from 6 year olds to 40 year old men, which is fine. However, there exists one certain gamer that always seems to draw attention to a chatroom full of men --- the female gamer.
While there aren't that many females on XboxLive compared to guys, most girls find out its best to keep quiet, or else they will feel the wrath of a "Real Gamer." And I'm sorry to say the only real gamers are guys. So, to the point, why we can make fun of you...
"1. Male Dominance
XboxLive is not an equality opportunity environment. This is our realm. We have owned the gaming realm since Chess, Pong, and Dungeon&Dragons. Just like if we were to walk into a beauty store, we would be a noob. Hairspray, mouse, gel --- it all does the same thing right? That's exactly how we feel when a female enters our domain.
2. Your Voice
Technology has failed to capture the true sound of the female voice. Instead of hearing a sweet, soft voice, all's we hear is a high pitched, child-like sound, instantly inciting the anger buried deep within the male genome. Believe me, if you had to hear yourself, you would say 'shut up' too.
