Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.

More likely higher ranked players finally figured out that keeping harmony within your team does wonders for your chance at winning. The amount of infighting I've had to stop just to save my elo is insane, why would i start something just because of someone's gender.

I don't think that's right, I'm terrible at games but I still respect women (enough to spare them from interacting with me whenever possible. Same goes for all people really)
