The 'girls' thread got me thinking, what is your opinion on the gender based discrimination female gamers receive?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
I guess it's justified, to a point. Most gamers are dudes. There are games, however, that attract both genders, The Sims and Final Fantasy to name two.
I don't know many girls who play strategy games oר first-person-shooters, so those games are designed and marketed almost solely for guys.
Other than that... I don't think it really matters. A game is a game is a game, and gender has little to do with it.

I see nothing wrong with girls playing games. Not my place to really dictate what girls can do but my preference is.. like they can play games and stuff but I'd like for them to maintain their femininity.
Silly people! Girls don't play games! Just like hot girls don't use the internet!
*Please don't kill me...*
As mentioned, there IS a little justification to it. I just don't know many female gamers.
Many thanks Christmas!

I think girls can be just as hardcore gamers as males can. I dunno if this sounds biased or not but ever notice how alot of girl gamers get hotter as time goes by. Like when I went to a Guilty Gear X2 tournament in port huron there was this TOTAL BABE who was participating, and she kicked ass too.

I don't think I've ever been discriminated against cause I'm a girl gamer.
Pently of girls play video games, I know alot, but then, I am a girl so that might be why. I don't see why gender matters, if they like games, they like games. Where does gender come in to it?
I've never been discriminated by it, at least, not even by any of the male gamers I know.
I don't see why there should be any discrimination for women gamers, but I guess it can happen.

Sadly I think I'm the only girl in my grade that plays video games, well, you know xD "Real" video games. (That was just a joke) But I get hottie points for being a gamer girl. Not that I need it. *hair flip* But yeah, whenever I win a video game against a guy, they seem to get twice as mad just 'cause I'm a chick.
i <3 half life so fun when YOU BLAST THE HELL OUT OF SOMETHING
i'm no good at them though ^^
p.s I AM A GIRL >: (
Trust No one
To quote CAD: There are gamer girls, you [the guys] just have to stop playing and coome out and find us.
Making a slow come back since 2008
A friend of mine plays lots of games, like Warcraft, OMF or Diablo. And she can easily kick any guys ass in counter strike (except mine, but I usualy let her win anyways ). But she is a exception, most of the other girls I know can't even turn on the computer without a manual. So it's not that girls shouldn't or couldn't play games, just that most simply don't.
