The only way to implement this fairly is to also create a men-only server.
Oh wait, that would be sexist. Funny how that works, isn't it?

It worked!  Haven't been harassed since |
so, I invented what would later be called alchemy:
as many sodas as possible, A1, Worchestshire sauce (Tabasco was added to the recipe a couple of years later) and then drank it down
they turned corpse white and avoided me for a full day or two
rather pleasant mix though...the settlement from the worchestshire and A1 makes the last drink have a real kick on about a 1-2 second delay

I don't think a female only server would solve anything even if it were enforceable. What, you think women never harass other women? I don't care about how sexist an exclusionary server may be, what I find to be insultingly sexist is the belief that somehow only men ever harass other people, and men never get harassed themselves.

I got immensely fed up with it and eventually posted a vid-rant to youtube about it
for one thing they kept equating "white culture" with Hollywood, which is insulting in and of itself for several reasons:
a) what the hell is "white culture"? How the hell can you typify us that way? It's like saying "Asian culture" and expecting that to cover India, China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea and the Philippines (but probably excluding Arab and Russia, despite those being Asian)
b) since when does Hollywood match up with anybody's culture except their own little fantasy world of how they believe things are and how they believe they should be?
c) Hollywood objectifies EVERYBODY, regardless of race, sex, religion or anything else...they don't care....yeah, you're getting objectified...so are the bloody one and two-dimensional male characters...
and...stopping now...gah...too easy to get on a rant with this stuff...

On the OP - The impression I have is that CoH has a fairly healthy "female in real life" population. Harassers can and should be stopped, but what behavior did you do that made "him" (generic) think you were female and therefore harassable? I'm not saying "blame the victim, not the victimizer", but with the somewhat anonimity of a game where anyone can play a character of any gender and no one knows the true gender of the player - assumptions about the player behind the character are useless.

Don't let your true gender be known in-game, most times problem will be solved.
If you're playing a female toon and getting harassed, tell them you're a guy.
Play some male alts. Playing a dude isn't so bad, even though when they run it looks like they have a stick up their ****
I would like a server for only people with red hair. One of my characters often gets harassed because of the color of his hair, and it is very sensitive to me since I also happen to have red hair in real life. Everyone who sees my character is obviously aware of this, and that's why they choose to torment me.

Then there would have to be a chewtoy... scuse me... Sackthingy server to keep all the little Sackthingies happy...
Then there would need to be a Bunny server for all of the bunnies that hop around...
Then the horsies would want their own server...
Then the Ponies would demand a server of their own so the horses would stop calling them Pwnies...
The madness! It goes on and on and on and on!

Okay, seriously, to the Op... I think the idea has been pretty much busted by now, and I really don't have anything constructive to add then: Don't tell people your gender.

As noted - an online game is not like RL. It would be far too difficult to enforce and not very effective in preventing harassment. Please do check out the guide to protecting yourself against cyberstalking if you haven't already.

There are ways to deal with harassment. Making a female-only server isn't one of them.

And putdown girl should totally take pity on the enthusiastic guy, too. Just thought I should share.

Incidentally, I also feel that putting people on Global Ignore should act like /hideall, but just towards that particular person. If the person tries to send you a tell, the game says you appear offline. If that person has somehow gotten you on Global friends, you appear offline. If that person has your characters in local friends, they appear offline. If that person runs a Team Search, your characters don't show up. If that person shares a Global channel with you, he can't see you in the list of members online.
Inversely, it should also act as ignore in the opposite direction. Anything you say, someone you've ignored cannot see. If you speak in a global channel, Broadcast or even on a team, if you somehow end up paired with that person, he can't see anything you chat. Like you aren't even saying anything. If you run a Team Search, that person's characters don't show up for you.
I want /ignore to be as close to making both people not exist to each other as game mechanics would allow. If I thought it was workable, I'd ask for the player's in-game models to become invisible to each others, so right-click chat info doesn't work, either.
If I put someone on /ignore, it's because I want nothing at all to do with this person ever again. That's not restricted to just receiving chat. It extends to every single facet of interaction the game provides. I do not want to know that someone I've /ignored even exists.
