Not that every player would fall into that category, but they certainly attract more self declared macho men than city builders or mainstream RPGs.

The interesting thing is, the good players don't tend to treat women like shit in the game.  So it isn't simply a question of who plays the game.

Perhaps - And I'm not saying I have any empirical evidence, it's just a speculation - Good players know hardwork, technique and skills count more than what gender you identify with and anyone can become a brilliant player.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
