Men Who are Bad at Video Games More Likely to Show Hostility to Women

Apparently, being incompetent is associated with discrimination against women.  I have to say, that fits with my experience in the world.

Yeah, but that's one study that doesn't surprise me much. Kind of goes with the territory of these kinds of games. 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.
