I played WoW for 4 years, and it was only if I CHOSE to reveal my gender that the comments started; and it totally depended on context. By and large the people in my various guilds were really happy to have a woman playing. Once, I played with a casual raiding guild on Destromath, and seriously LOVED getting on to Vent and hearing the reactions when I spoke up. One time, the conversation turned towards diarrhea, and the guys were like "Dude, maybe we shouldn't talk about this with Laurelin (my character) playing." And I replied, "Dudes, I have IBS. You wanna talk diarrhea? We can talk diarrhea." I probably only got the OMG! PICS! thing once.

Women can't generally grow a beard or moustache.

Clearly you've never met the women in my family. Wax is our friend.

Wrong. I learned early how to hook up the stereo as sometimes I liked to move the stereo around, and everything had to be put back JUST RIGHT before Dad came home from work or else I would be soooo busted. And yeah, that's a multipiece stereo, with separate speakers, tuner, turntable, cassette player, and (later) CD player. I was the person in my family who hooked up the new CD player to the stereo.
