“No I am not buying this for my boyfriend, thank you very much.”
Constantly being referred to as a "girl gamer".
That term is so 1998. Neither my hobby nor my gender defines me. How about I'm just one of the growing number of people from all walks of life who enjoy playing video games?

Going to buy a game IRL only to be asked, "Is this for your boyfriend?" at the till.
This is as infuriating as it is patronising. Please stop it. Also it applies when we're buying comic books.

The assumption that, being female, you belong to the "casual gamer" market and all you play is Candy Crush and Cooking Mama.
Come play a few friendly rounds of Ultra Street Fighter IV with me and we'll see who's casual, buddy.

The assumption that you’re somehow less of a "gamer" if you play Candy Crush and Cooking Mama.
Welcome to 2014, where games are for everyone. You and I might play Alien: Isolation and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, but that doesn't mean everyone allowed to like games has to.
