I suppose I should stick with playing The Sims and Candy Crush Saga, then. :P I admit I like The Sims but actually I've never played the likes of Candy Crush. I dunno, if I think of the various other female gamers I know, we're a pretty diverse bunch: as well as it being a genetic requirement for us to play The Sims whenever possible, some like shooters, many like RPGs, loads like online competitive games (though I personally hate any sort of MMO malarky) and I can't say that there's any really noticeable difference from the guy gamers I know: in fact I'd say that girl gamers and guy gamers aren't really a thing, there's just gamers.
As for online unpleasantness, I wonder if that might perhaps be more a matter of age than gender. Personally I'd rather not think too much about my obnoxious teenage years...
