Explaining disconnect between women, video games

[Lady PMS]

Check this article out on TechRepublic. Granted, TechRepublic is a site where geeky Information Technology Professionals frequent, so you'll see most of the comments are actually intelligent instead of slanderish. However, I figured you all could go give your two cents because I see some disturbing stereotypes such as, "Women don't play games for fun", or "Women aren't competitive as men". I think it would amaze some people to see some INTELLIGENT female gamers give a shout out that WOMEN do matter when it comes to video game development, because damn it, WE DO PLAY!

women arent as competitive as men?!?! BS to that! I know lots of girls that try and out do people constantly. If anything i think women are more competitive because they dont get as angry and therefore can play to the best of their abilities more because they arent inhibited by anger.
