I tend to take things in stride and find humor where possible, as he was probably a lonely troll that was bored, but I'm sure there are a lot of players who wouldn't find it amusing.
On another matter, I find it interesting that so many people seem to have been harassed as a female character. I very rarely get that. I usually do play with at least one other person (usually female character too) so maybe they don't approach when you are not alone. Or maybe my characters are just not attractive enough... Now I'm confused if I should feel lucky or offended that they don't.
However, if there are enough horny RPers(not saying all are, but some are. those guys are soo annoying) I'll take a male char. It's mostly also in the case where the servers are exclusively RP. If the case is that neither cases apply,I'll just go for whichever suits my char better(like often I go for a female elf, male orc) so on so forth.
sorry could not resist : D
I usually play both ... but I think I am going Male for my first character and female after I hit the level cap, depending on game play I might not have a second character till later on.
This is a very good question i like it

You should expect that the players are not exactly the same as their characters.
You should not be surprised that players don't sound like Elves or Orcs or Tulnar.
You should expect the player's real life voice to sound like the player; not the character they are roleplaying.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You missed out on LOTRO then, m8. Male, female, dwarf, elf, hobbit...didn't matter what you were, you could wear anything as a cosmetic. It made for some pretty funny outfits.
As for me, I'd be # 3. I just like the look of female characters over male, though in some Asian MMOs I'm not fond of some of their movements or models that can't be customized properly. I just haven't been able to stick with male toons for long.

Aion Online - Guy that was a high ranking officer of lead guild on the faction didn't like me being put in charge over his squad for a fortress attack.
"I'm older, and I have more experience - you're just some girl that sucked someone off to get where you are." Was basically the worst I've ever received, and he paid for it when I cut off any loot from falling into his pockets without saying a single word to him.
@Solarion
A-l-o-t of them do not understand boundaries or what is "ok" to say.
Aargo, from BDO. (I will call his username out now.) Was a member of my guild back then, my co-leader was a female as well. He joined us in a voice call for a raid night, and then proceeded to pm her with "Can you send me pictures of your face, your voice is just so beautiful I need to see what you look like." Then when she refused to he got increasingly more violent with "Fine then you're just a bitch, I'm trying to say I find you attractive theres no need to be such a bitch about it." To which I removed him for it, and he turned on me as a "You're just standing in my way of her, i don't want your bitchy ass I want her soft and sweet one, she is so perfect what is so wrong in me worshipping her."
He was blacklisted by like 6 guilds because he verbally assaulted me via channel chat for being the type of girl to cock-block him. I was always the "take action" leader, and it was worth the hate. I got to watch him get hunted like a dog, he'd get ballsy and try to kill me alot of the time as well which always ended HORRIBLY for him.
Other guilds will have similar stories of perverts as well, you hear of them being uncommon but not exactly rare.
(Btw he asked for more than just face picks but, some of the specifics were disgusting. She was also not the first girl, just the only one that brought it to attention since she was a leader. He even asked this stuff of a fifteen-year-old girl, with comments of "She sounds old enough" as to why.)
"...............whew I almost said of our superiority...."
I can imagine it's far worse for RL girls as you all have to deal with voice chat and the nastiness that spills over from in-game into the real world (or vice versa). I'm glad you say those experiences are few and far between though.
That was meant "mostly" as a joke. I look at it as this is a game and I create/play whatever character fits the RP aspect of how I plan to run a particular character.

I've never used the software myself, so I can't vouch for it. Maybe in the near future, it'll be too easy to RP and we'll have the opposite problem on our hands lol.
As the actual president of PoW (Perverts of the World) I'll state that my association has never represented, neither does or will, in any circumstances, support the acts of said mister Aargo.
My association stands proudly in the representation of the pervyness and kinks of the world since 40.000 b.C. We were there when the first genitalia were scribbled onto cave walls,we were there when the first dirty joke was made up, there when the first skirt lifted in the wind, always there, and never, miss, never we harrassed anyone! Instead, many proud members (mostly males but I am outbursting with prideful tears in recognising the well deserved membership of many women) have fought putting their lives on the line to defend the subtle distinction between perversion and crime.
That man, madam, is just an harrasser, I see no perv, the holy light of kinkyness has never shone on him.
I say dishonor! Dishonor on him, dishonor on his cow!
From my experience in RL and the very few times in games someone tried to harass me, they do seem to be suffering from not only lack of respect and manners but also from lack of imagination and more importantly a sense of humor.
As an example the poor flasher who thought to shock me on the buss stop in the mid- (Finnish) winter and failed to see the situational comedy in his "equipment" reacting to the weather still boggles the mind.
