Female Gamer Talks Girl Gaming

Snowcone writes "As gaming becomes more mainstream, it's inevitable that many girls will join the ranks of the die-hard gamer. Gaming is typically reserved for those with that extra chromosome, which poses the question; in a world dominated by the male sex, why do women choose to put themselves in the position of the minority? As a female gamer, Dots @ Snackbar Games discusses reasons why it's ok for girls to enjoy gaming just as much as the guys do." This is another perspective on a much-discussed subject.

    Extra chromosome != male. Extra chromosome = wuh-oh.

    Perhaps she meant to say "different chromosome?"

    If I meet a girl who plays video games, it had better be because she likes it, not just so she can get in my pants.

    Yeah, you tell 'em! I hate it when girls try to get into my pants! How dare they think of me as a sex object!
