Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Depending on CoH's population, we may actually have a decent sized server! What, 2% of 100,000 (if that's the CoH Population) is 2000! It could be huge!

Among some of the suggestions already provided, I'd like to ask--
What would you do if you were given unwanted attention in person?
Would you demand to be given your own gender-locked path on your way to work? To school? For your family, friends, or children? What about getting unwanted attention not from the opposite sex, but from the same?
The answer varies depending on the situation and your personality, morals, and beliefs. Men can get a bad rap for being quite open with their admiration, but it all boils down to how you would want to politely decline any advances regardless of gender.
Shutting yourself off in a virtual bubble would be a literal solution, but it would only create more work when a simple "not interested, thank you" would suffice. Add global notes and/or ignore the person if they can't take that hint, and if it gets really bad, escalate the issue by reporting it in-game through Menu --> Support --> Harassment and Conduct. These are some of the suggestions already mentioned in posts such as the ones by Shadow Kitty and Memphis Bill.
Segregation is not the answer.
Oh useless Internet Drama, how I love thee, let me count the ways...

If you're not showing a chat log, at least give the approx. time it was going on, and time zone to enable them to find it in the server's chat logs.|

(Having chat logs on can help - but whether you have them on or not doesn't matter, support will have access to their own.)

Yes people, if you type it in and hit send, the server DOES save a copy of your chat.

I can tell you now that if you are getting a male only and a female only server that I will fight tooth and nail for a hermaphrodite only server.

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 know it's not polite to deride homosexuals, mind you, and I have nothing against them, but the kind of guys who harass women tend to be very insecure about their sexual orientation, so it might be fun to play with that.
The best way to deal with an insecure person is to taunt them until they realize how helpless they are to do anything about it, and then run away with their tails between their legs.

So the solution is for us to hide our gender because the other gender is causing problems? Should we cover up on the street too, to avoid unwelcome attention and comments?

How is it "hiding" if it would never come up unless you made a special point of bringing it up. I've never "hidden" my gender in the game, but no one knows it.
