I agree with the article yet I did not enjoy reading alot of the assumptions made. I dislike the way issues with society are being disguised as issues with games and gamers. They have booth babes at car shows, boat shows, computer shows etc. For every chauvenistic pig out there grabbing their butts there is an equal ammount of 'good' guys who may not even have girlfriends but adopt a more mature attitude. For as many guys out there who have touched a girl and played WoW or a similar 'geeky' game(the majority of guy gamers) there are equally(almost) as many female hardcore gamers who dont need to identify themselves as 'girl gamers' instead the tag 'gamer' fits. If a girl is being treated differently its likely becuz she is acting like she is different and a 'girl gamer' not just a gamer.
I do not want to sound like i am tearing the entire idea of the article apart, let me restate I agree with the opinions - I just think they are exagerated greatly and secondly a very real issue with soceity rather than games. My final comment, Bonnie alot more geeks get laid than you think, and alot less objectify women than you think. I believe your standpoint is detrimental to the way girls fit into games/society by thrusting an insecure weak opinion on girls everywhere. Men are not like you make them out to be, as if they should be feared by women (gamers).
