In all my years of gaming I only ever had one experience that was just plain nasty to deal with.
It was on the Wow forums and someone had made a lady gamer over 40 represent thread. The nastiness and vitriol we got for that thread was just absolutely sick. I never had any problems otherwise, I made friends in game and some of those friendships lasted outside the game.
Otherwise I never really had a problem because I was a woman nobody really bothered me. I think most of the time it becomes an issue when you make it an issue.
