Somewhat off-topic note. Am I like the only biologically female actual gamer? I mean actual gamers that play difficult console games (for me I like a lot of Nintendo games including a lot of Retro ones), woman that just play easy mobile games like Candy Crush, I don't count. Anyways, I tried to join an online group of female gamers once, and almost all of them turned out to be men that think they're women (and usually had disgusting fetishes as well). I left immediately. It was nightmarish.

Well I'm not surprised, who else would care about gender in a gaming group?

I'm sure you're not the only one. What probably happens is the men end up pushing women out of their circles, because they've been raised to fear even being in the presence of one unless it's about sex, lest they be called effeminate. That's probably how most "male-dominated" subjects came to be. And indeed, children don't really have these disparities. Where they do you'll usually find a bunch of complaints about parents and authority figures restricting them.
