It appears you are assuming that all those people are scumbags. I'm sure plenty of them are; such is the plight of interacting with the general public.

I'm sure this girl walking video is overblown to make a point, but there is a point. The sexes are not equal. That's the point. Sexism exists surely as racism exist. It exists in games. It exists in the workplace, in the home and in our communities.
As for Gamersgate it is and still remains about sexism, and I offer Poldaran as proof. Post after post after post going on about 'women' in games while denying his crusade is about women and gaming. Give it up.
