I hate to say this, but I think it (sexist behavior) goes back a little further than the 80's. Cast not a finger at the Goonies kids when the Howdy-Doody kids committed the same crime.
And bear this in mind: I'm a casual gamer, my friends are hardcore gamers...we are *gasp!* kind and respectful of women. Don't blame the gaming industry (and thereby its fanbase) for your personal woes. Remember, you are not alone in the anger about sexism in the mass-media. I personally think 'The View' has a very slanted and disrespectful stance regarding men, but I understand that almost all talk shows and daytime programming has this in mind as a method to please their fanbase, which is overwhelmingly female. I stopped watching that stuff and picked up a book instead. No harm, no foul.
