I would never hang out with a gamer girl. Better avoid people as dumb as you.
Lol. Well, we weren't hanging out, we were living together and in that case, it can be really fun if you don't overdo it. We were both not obsessive gamers but for example she had a Diablo 3 account already, so I got one and we played around most days like a few months or so...

so she was like this dominatrix queen of about 15 Dota boys. It was really fun watching her give them commands, while they were on the mic like "yes, sure, anything else?"
Yea well, they were either friends with her or she was coaching newbies, because the dominatrix thing is hardly the behavior in environments of mid to high tier competition (which is where I play). Professional coaches are entirely something else, but they also don't work with people that ask "yes, sure, anything else", top tier players make their own decisions and only receive advice, not commands.
But it does sound as if you had and interesting relationship, tell us more about it sometime.

Perfectly possible that they were low tier, I dont play Dota myself, so I really had no idea about their levels, sounded like they were all playing it for quite a while though, had the terminological lingo and all that...

Perhaps frostysh, but when it comes to the video games I have experience with, my opinion is that the main reason there is a gender gap in quality among the best players is for the same reason there is in chess, that is there are many more male players and that is in my opinion due to social norms.
If you compare two random groups of competitors where one is much larger than the other, it's much more likely for the strongest (and weakest) competitors to be in the largest group.
If we assume gender indeed plays no role in video games, it follows the reason female gamers at the highest level is worse than their male counterparts is because there are many more guys playing.
In my opinion this is because in our society video games such as fps shooters are generally something young boys are interested in.
I guess it is not so simple.
Well I think there is an another, and more important reason.
The child is a very "acceptable" in terms of the information, in the his or her early years of life. Despite the fact that a baby usually does not understand what actually is happening around, some brain systems can "absorb" and write such information through a neuro-stuff.
I.e. the difference in cloth of the male-female guys will be "written" in the head of baby, regardless of the level of understanding it by baby's mind. This information will be used in the future, to explain some things, even on the "under-cognition level".
The combination of such neuro-stuff, and the traditions in the society can define, in general of course, the characterizing stuff of male/female population in the modern societies.
i.e. if we gonna look on the gender statistic of the online video games (such as WoW, Asia-RPG, DoTA2, Call of Duty, etc, etc), there is a major part have a male gender, even more, in the poor countries (Balkans, East Europe, Asia, Middle East, etc), the major part of the male gamers will be even more significant corresponding to the female part, because of the obvious reason, and usually the poor contries is far more traditional in terms of the different genders (of course there is some exceptions, but in general it is true).
To become a professional gamer, you need to spent a lot of time in the games that you playing, due to the obvious reasons, and the traditions in the society, etc, this is will be more difficult for a females.
The totally different picture we can see in the military sphere. Professional soldiers have a crucial difference from the professional gamer, usually they have done a systematic training in the special organizations. The professional gamer usually have done only "self-training" before they came to the "high-league", tournaments, etc.
i.e. if your are target for a some slaughtering device, such as main battle tank, you will feel no difference of what gender have its operator of the main gun, or a commander. The same will be with aircraft, long-range rocket systems, etc. . .
And this is actually only the one thing that matters in the military terms - the result. And if the result have a very poor connection to the gender, no one idiot will care about the gender  .
Besides, a modern Science, training, etc, can easily mess with the physical properties of the humans, both, male and female (such as muscle power, fighting abilities, etc), the Science perhaps can even to switch a gender if you want to  yeah...
P.S. The darn real life things, distracting me from creating a post

That only proves that women are more intelligent and more ambitious than males, thus will not waste time on gaming -which is, after watching TV, the most worthless possible activity, the one you will regret every minute spent on, after you reach the menopause.

This: In rural areas of Turkey, "traditional" marriages are still existent, that is, families marry their daughters who are legally minors and sometimes to men who are significantly older. It's quite a common norm in pre-industrial societies and it is, anachronically, still not extinct over here, although quite rare. Now, some years ago, they finally passed a law which prohibits such marriages completely and declares that sex with a minor is statutory rape, yet, some of the people simply don't care about this law and still have their illegal but traditionally valid, Islamic marriages, then the girl who is a minor gets pregnant, goes to the hospital for birth, the hospital, follows the law and reports it as statutory rape of a minor, the husband goes to jail. So, AKP decided to pass a law (conveniently at midnight when most of the MP's from the opposition were absent in the parliament), which brings immunity to those who were convicted of such statutory rape, if they had been married (the law presented doesn't apply to future situations but only works backwards) if there is no force involved and if the child-bride had consent.
Now, of course, the notion that a 15 year old can have "consent" about such a thing is the reason that everybody got furious over the issue and the reaction was so severe, they had to step back. Something AKP almost never does. They said they will remodel the law and they are open to suggestions. The law is not the heart of the issue, it's rather the people who insist that according to their Islamic tradition, it is allowed that a person can get married once they reach puberty. So once again, religion tries to freeze a norm, this time inherited from times when such a thing as "teenage period of life" did not exist and biological adulthood was accepted also as legal adulthood.

So, a law that applies retroactively, conveniently voted upon when the opposition was mostly absent, to apparently put Islamic marriage in legality, because that's a practice that happens in rural areas, and they formulate it in such a way that can let child rapists off the hook if they marry their victims.
What in the world...

Well, I'm ver much against the law as can be expected but to be accurate, it doesn't work like you pick a minor on the street, rape her, then suggest to marry to avoid conviction. If it passes as it is, it will only put some already traditionally married convicts out of jail.

Listen to the experience.
Your post just highlighting the traditions of the society, which is almost absolutely useless in the terms of military, or the other branch where the effectiveness is only matter, in example - Science related things, Government related things.
Besides, continuing the military topic, I have a doubts that a female soldiers will have a lack of sexual activity stuff, the moments like that, is included in the psychological training of the soldiers, both, males, and females.
And if the female soldier will get in the real war ("real" I mean no the one, where the single poor enemy of the female soldier killed with the airstrike the fuel of which is cost more than a whole hamlet of this poor under-age guy with AK-rifle ), I have a doubts that the female soldier (same as male too), have a many chances to live long enough to reach the menopausal age, or whatever, at least "in the single piece" . . .
As I said before, the "gender" topic is just another useless stuff that peoples in the rich countries bothering their mind. . . The archaic times, where the gender was almost the main thing in the life, has gone long time ago, together with a poor hygiene politics , weird costumes, the religion in the role of the penicillin , etc . It has been replaced by a tooth gel, MRT, Computers, ICBM . . . In general, by things where gender have almost zero matter

@Zenofex
Not to attack Greece, you can be sure of that.
It's mostly about Musul and the situation in Syria, (which they keep saying they have no intention to conquer 5 times a day) but it's mostly about how they have right to do the operations over there.
Also, from an internal politics perspective, the Lausanne Treaty is an achievement from Mustafa Kemal's period and Erdogan just loves to present anything related to him as failure or compromise to the West.

Across Europe, 27 percent of young men said that some situations justified sexual intercourse without consent, compared with 20 percent of young women who were polled. Overall, nearly 30,000 Europeans responded to the survey.

This poll is a load of bullsnow. I am romanian and I know what education we received and how people in the east threat women.
I also see they skipped all the muslim population in Europe, among which you will find a serious amount who will rape a woman just because she is nothing more than a "woman". Then there is a difference between what people think they would do when asked dumb things, and what they really DO, as rape statistics show. tss, Sweden in second place.

Both in the Balkans and in the Middle-East, where traditional norms are much more alive compared to countries industrialized in the 19th century, conservative people (which are a lot as you can see from the poll) are thought to respect women but only if the women "behave respectable." If they act "snowty" things change. There was a thread about this not so long ago and we have first-hand witnessed a conservative Romanian declaring -as a very very normal thing- "condemn the rape but also condemn the encouragement." So, I don't understand why you're so surprised.
And your obsession to make every friggin'topic about Muslim immigrants is really becoming too much.

When someone posts a poll suggesting that my country has a majority of pro rape guys, and when I know whats about and you don't, as often when you post while being totally disconnected from the local realities you analyze, I will answer and point my finger to the real problem.
When Sweden reports 800 rapes per 100 000 people/year and is ignored in that poll (and when is very easy to procure worldwide data about which ethnicity/religion encourages the most the rape and how that it goes particularly in Sweden), then Romania reports 11 pr 100 000 and is in red, I have the right to ignore your poor and biased attempt to explain this by some pathological obsession.
