It's clear you know how to PvP with Glad and rating etc. Why would you give a shit about Smack talkers? If anything. Don't PuG RGB's. Your always going to deal with Trash. PuG's are where nobody gives a shit and there are no rules. I tried a PuG 1 time to try and get to 2200 in my RBG hit up vent and walked into an AIDS joke followed up by black jokes. I am laid back dude but no thanks. I don't want to hear that shit in my game. There are millions of others to play this game with. Hook up with a guild running with them to afford most trash.

Get mad.
Bullies respect rage. Soon as someone starts to talk shit go off the handle a bit, that will shut all of them up. It's hard, and stressful for you (it will get your blood pressure up a bit if you do it right) but one brief moment of stress is worth the benefit. Your essentially acting, but you already have an emotion to back up the authenticity.
There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. Sexist, racist, radical, narrow-minded, self-absorbed, rude, selfish; and everytime I meet one I want to punch them in the face. Needless to say, I don't tolerate their presence, and they don't stick around me very long.
Nerds are scared of girls, and when you challenge them in their territory, they are likely to resort to their numbers.
On a serious note: i actually have no idea what to say about this. Seems you found people there who desperately need help.
The bottom line should be to dust off your shoes and move on. The more upset you get about this, the more control you've handed them over you. It was a crappy situation, but that doesn't mean you have to dwell on it. Learn from it and if something like it happens again, you'll know to handle it differently. Just remember that the more you care about what other people think of you, the more power you give them as well.

"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
All I know is I keep seeing people use the word "sexistic" in this thread, and it's giving me a headache. It's "sexist", or if you prefer something a little more descriptive, "chauvinistic".
That actually sums it up. They were afraid of a girl. That is the reason they acted up.
On a side note, where was your "friend"? He (I am guessing it was a guy) should have either stood up for you, or at least told you to ignore them, because they are jerks. I once made all warriors drop from a 40 man in vanilla, because the druids were harassing a rogue who was a female in real life and the raid leaders did nothing. She was too afraid to leave the raid, but when all the tanks and best dds in raid dropped, that got everyones attention. She was 35 years old at the time and an accomplished writer for the biggest gaming magazine in our country, but sexist remarks from a bunch of kids got to her. This is something we men will never experience, but should be aware of. There is no harmless sexism.
In case of jerks, /leave.
PS. Neo-feminism, led by angry lesbians, who by definition hate men, makes it harder for us to stand up for women.
If you actually read the OP you would've seen she said they already called her retarded and stupid before she was kicked off the voice-com, and nobody should have to "endure" this kind of bullshit from anybody. After reading your signature I realize you're not a very clever person.
strange , i would expect the contrary , people to be happy to have a girl , usually thats a reaction in raids or run's , having someone else apart all males , and even if that happen insult asap only cos its a girl , without checking the character ? just from the start , duno but seems way to strange for me
I've been thinking of how I could say this on a nice way but I suppose ↑ will do. While sexism is involved, and yes, it sucks, it's like this in every game, not just towards females but also males, but that's not the big issue here. Someone that is supposedly that high ranked in one of the more immature communities, the PvP community, should have been used to this already and not making a big deal out of this.
All I really see is someone that is annoyed because she screwed up and got called out of it, trying to make the guys look like the bad guys because they teased/harassed you a little, which again, happens to everyone. They were wrong, but so were you, so really, no need to make such a big deal about this.
I can't believe there are people in this thread stupid enough to use an example of sexism to act like sexism doesn't exist. I mean, come on.
this reminds me of the 'If Women ruled WoW"

When someone asks you if you're a god, YOU SAY 'YES'!
OP: these games are already rife with social rejects who exploit anonymity and in-game peerage to seek projected revenge or act out any number of the idiotic fantasies that would get their jaw broken in real life.
PvP players tend to be even worse -- a lot of low-intelligence, dead-end grocery-bagger types or outright scumbags. Tread carefully until you can find a group of normal adults.
I learned a long time ago to expect things like this from people that are serious about PVP, it seems much more common compared to people serious about PVE.
Internet courage/anonymity gives people like this even more of a reason to act like that.
They might have just been checking to see how you handle certain comments, or how much self confidence you have too, and/or they could just be outright douche bags.
