Now I understand the plight of female gamers

So earlier I was playing a raid with my friend and some random girl we met in the tower the day before. I feel really bad for her, and any other female that plays video games.[spoiler]Unless it's one of those airheaded, attention seekers that are terrible and only play video games to say they're a "gamer girl."[/spoiler] We got an LFG post going, and the second person we got was some teen/preteen guy. The moment the girl says something, it's like an alarm goes off in his head and he says something like "You're a girl!" He then proceeded to try to flirt with her the whole time we were playing, and was just generally acting like a thirsty douchebag kid. Eventually he got so bad that we had to kick him. There was another older guy who was sort of doing the same thing, but not nearly as bad and he stopped when we said something about it. Why do people act like that? What was that kid expecting? She was twice his age, and she told him that, but he just kept trying to get her to talk to him. I'm sure that happens all the time, and that's just not right. Guys wonder why girls don't play video games as much. That's why. Dumbasses harass them too much. Edit: ⚠️Please do not feed the trolls⚠️ Edit 2: There are a lot of great opinions in these replies. A lot of different views. However, some people seem to not understand how to articulate their thoughts, so they have to resort to immature insults and baseless accusations. Those people can kindly gtfo. Edit 3: A common "insult" that has been repeated in the replies is "White Knight." My question is when did this become an insult? White Knights used to represent people who stood up for other people, and that was a good thing. When did this become something that is looked down at? Are we so messed up as a society that we snicker at anybody who stands up for someone else and label them a White Knight?
