A Tumblr post discussing a snippet of a study about misogyny in video game culture and interactions: A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male
players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards
teammates with a female voice, but behaved
more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand,
behaved more positively towards female
players. The authors argued the male hostility
towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary
psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption
of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour
from poor performing males who stand to lose
the most status". 
Still the best gaming fact.

Someone on Tumblr replies: “Noted: misogyny is a skill issue”

    I get the meme, but I don't know how to apply it to this post.

    Could someone elaborate?
