I would be willing to bet that this translates to any social delineation. I betcha age gaps, language/dialect differences, and sexual preference signals all flip the same switch in the male gamer brain.

But I'd be even more curious to see if women exhibit the same habits in a woman-dominant environment. Do they naturally move to enforce peaking orders that ostracize outsiders like their male peers, or do they follow a different pattern?
