Interesting article.
WoW is definately very sexist, but its certainly the least sexist multi-player game I've ever played on the web. I was very surprised that it took till about level 40 that I had a negative multiplayer experience, and it really made me realise how much when I was playing counterstrike I was having these negative experiences and just kinda shrugging them off as people getting into the spirit of the game. But they weren't in the spirit of anything they were just dicks being dicks and the game kinda brought that out. I think WoW does a good job of providing an atmosphere that people do co-operate (although a lot more could be done).
I have been thinking some kinda in-game shun system would be kinda neat although it obviously has potential to be abused. This kinda blatant sexism is pretty, well, lame. I play and my gf plays casually and I know quite a few girls who play. Certainly still only a fraction but I never knew any girls who played CS. heh.
