I don't know if this happens all the time or only when you're new but if it's the same all the time, females have it quite a bit harder than males regarding having to deal with unwanted/unsafe people.

Kind of OT but this is such a great post.

A little extra emphasis because reading this was like yes.
(It's the same all. the. time.)
(Online, irl, etc. I've gotten creeps hitting on me while waiting at damn stoplights in my car before.)
Sorry, back to your question:
I haven't outright "pretended to be a guy", but there were forums and stuff I used to frequent when I gamed a lot. I just left out any indication I was female there just to avoid annoying comments from men.
