I agree that my experience is amecdotal.
I'm not asking you to take my word as fact or evidence, but instead encourage you to talk to people all across the US and see if the theory matches the real world. I think it is not helpful to say "Gamers hate woman" or "the right hates woman". It's a simplification that encourages bias rallying. I don't think we can solve our problems without the support of those we disagree with, and better understanding those groups helps.
I've met a lot of men and woman who are sexist and racist and everything bad under the sun, but there are just as many grey people in the middle as there are in the edges. Thats my own claim, and you shouldnt take my word for it and instead talk to others yourself.
