Male player with plenty of female toons, never had any different treatment in any of the guilds or groups I was in. I never talk on vent either (lack a microphone and the interest to get one) and no one cared.

In the one guild I was in, there were two over the top girls that would never shut up about sex and practically demanded attention, though I ignored them.

In Guild Wars 1, I had some creepy interaction with my female characters, but nothing worthwhile.

And saying "I find the female toons more aesthetically appealing" doesn't just mean "I want a chicks ass to stare at". Especially in WoW, some races have male models that are just hideous. In TOR, I have only played female toons due mostly to the voice acting.

"(How this is ever an argument that makes sense to people, I don't know.)" is almost offensive in it's derisive presentation. It makes sense to people because toon sex is an arbitrary opinion and meaningless. There is no "right way" that "makes sense", it's opinion.
