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.

Guys don't have an "extra" chromosome. We just have a different chromosome than girls on chromosome pair 23. An extra chromosome would result in something like mental retardation (trisomy 21 where the there is a third, non-disjoined chrosome in pair 21 is what causes Down's Syndrome). you may begin the "but guys _are_ retards" jokes...... now.
