My response
to the whole "girls don't play WoW" myth:

Of course not.
Girls don't play WoW, the tooth fairy is real and America is a free country.

some ranged dps would be nice, however death grip is really sweet so i'm not complaining too much. i just like going *yoink!* and then violating things with my mace. hehe!

my dk just turned 71 and i've already finished all the possible Howling Fjord quests i can get. she kicks more ass at this level than my lock did with all her epics.

WE WILL BE TOMORROW, GLORY HALLELUJAH.

(Or at least, we'll be a hell of a lot closer.)

I still honestly don't get the whole 'girls don't play WoW' attitude. I also never see it myself. I must be playing in the wrong places or something. At least half of the people I play with are women, and they kick ass.

To be fair, apparently there are a lot of guys who claim to be girls and ask for gold, etc.

Let the dweebs think there are no real girls. I love my wow.

Psht of course they're only for BOYZ.

The same way girls shouldn't learn how to read or drive.

going on vent or voice chat gives a good head count. Yeah there are more guys, but definitely a good number of girls around. Oh and, they are usually the players who THINK instead of rushing then wondering why the hell the whole group wiped :P

Well, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of them like me. I never let randoms know I'm female, it's just a)not really important for the progress of yer random pug b)too much possible future hassle, and I've got more stuff to do online than ignore lots of 14-year-olds who imagine I must look like my night elf also in real life. Only exception of this is the occasional duel/arena, when it's almost necessary to whisper: "you just got your ass kicked by a girl lulz". Yes, I am that immature :þ

We do have our guild slut, and no, I'm not being harsh. She only logs on to her lvl 70 to idle in Ironforge while wearing her outdated black mageweave set in order to chat up next target. Oh, I could tell you funny stories. But she's harmless, so we keep her in guild for flavour and for the sake of the the horny offshore guys.

I guess strictly speaking, she doesn't really "play" WoW.

Our guild also has an incident of a forty year old guy pretending to be a woman for 3 years until coming out of the closet (we had once heard him on vent, but apparantly that was his wife playing along). Boy do we make fun of him ever since.

But I guess the major part of our guild's girl population is the standard sensible, rather quiet healer, who sometimes does something quite dramatic and utterly incomprehensible.

moo!

of the female population in our guild, two are tanks (me as prot pally and a feral druid), two are healers and two are dps, so a fairly even distribution :P only one of the above is quiet... it isn't me :P

So on another note: ZOMG!! HAI! I was thinking about you just the other day, trying to think up some ingenious reason to get in touch but I couldn't think of anything. But you're one of my favourite people so I'm not giving up - any suggestions?
