But Its true, Girls don't play video games...

Ok, So i know its a stereotype, but have you seen one serious female gamer? and all of the sexism that goes on in VOIP and shit like that, can you blame them ??

It first came to attention when i started reading Ctrl Alt Del, that there are NO, female gamers in some games.

I wonder why ?

The answer lies in the majority of games. mainly the genre; War.

War is a male act, rapacious, extreme, violent. And, although Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ( I wonder who said that), It's just not their thing. Sure there are woman soldiers, but that doesn't mean that all girls like violence.. Thus leading to popular stereotypes... (ie, dutch, bull dyke marines.. etc. ) but thats died down in recent years as the idea of a woman holding a rifle doesn't seem too bad, as long as she kills the enemy, and not her husband.

Although..- "Nothing beats a woman that you have to salute in the morning" ...
