But ultimately what we still see is that "girly games" are much less respected and women are harassed in online and competitive games, as well as we're less respected when we speak on topics of gaming than men. This is especially the case in "gamer" spheres which still maintain a pretty hard-core misogyny problem.

This exactly. As if clicking heads for 100 hours makes you more of a gamer than playing the Sims for 100 hours. As if having guns and gore effects makes a game a "real" game, and no other type of game "counts".
