Games and Gender

Computer gaming is a man's sport. Granted there are those few exceptions of girls playing, my sisters for some, and my mother for another, but all the professional gamers that I follow and watch regularly are all male. I don't mean to negatively stereotype, but women usually don't enjoy killing things, beating things to a pulp, or watching violent constant action. It's totally a good thing too, because if a child doesn't get that kind nurturing gentleness that women bring to families, violence and video games might actually become linked (they aren't currently). Since the video game industry is targeted for the male population, computers in general when used as a play thing, is a boy's toy.
