Some even recognize up to 5 genders. Whether they are social or biological construct is another debate tho.

As I said if someone can find numbers for that it would be pretty awesome but I doubt those are easy to find. | ||

The fact that you feel facts to be offensive is another helpless fact. Edit: and sorry, but although there are parts of that copy/paste editing you did that are true, but that wouldn't be the valid argument used for obvious reasons. Can you back up these facts you are claiming with data from sources in the scientific community? Because there is overwhelming research that says you are incorrect in almost every way. Or are you just going to say they are fact and then challenge us to prove you wrong? No there isn't scientific data that proves me wrong. Try showing me some though, and I'll look through it and check out why it doesn't prove me wrong. Also take note that I'm also smart enough to realize that as there are differences in every scenario, there are also exceptions in many of them. No, I feel not need to provide you with proof of given fact that there that women are at no disadvantage when it comes to skills of hand eye coordination and multitasking. They can play the piano, drums and be prime minister of a nation. You and your beliefs are a relic of a previous time and have no baring on the modern world. You are wrong and people have done the work for me. You are just to much of a fool to admit it. Proving you wrong is like me wasting my time arguing with someone who does not believe the moon landing took place. As pointless an exercise as screaming at the rain. lol, then you're doing me a favor by saving me the time proving you wrong in your own research. Yes women can play the piano, drums, and be prime minister of a nation. You seem to be catching on to the fact that the world has changed more in the past few centuries than it did during the rest of its existence. I also do believe that I referenced this fact already in a previous post I made in this same thread. Women are becoming increasingly talented in things that they were not talented in before, due to their complete lack of experience. It doesn't take that long for this change to occur when the correct circumstances pull themselves together. Where there wasn't something before is exactly where something can and will be in the future. The biggest keypoint here is that it wasn't there before, and needs to be developed before it's there. Nah, I think I will just call you a sexist idiot and move on. By providing you with things to argue against, I am playing into your game. It easier for both of us and the most factual thing I could state by saying, your wrong and the world has proven it. Your points are invalid and you are simply trolling the thread with your sexist non-sense. | ||

Luway was my favorite player when she was most active, and I will always support Eve and Luway so long as they play this game. Also long time fan of ColaGirl and MiSs. I've always explained that women can and will become better at games, as they have with most other things. It's just a matter of time, but there are reasons they aren't yet, at this point in time.

She also says women just don't find pleasure in getting good at things like that the way men do. She doesn't naturally find competition enjoyable. That's from a woman, not me. HA! What i said. | ||

The rest are mostly MMO's and Sims 3 expansion packs, some exceptions like Skyrim and Civilization V. | ||

The brochure you've provided has no game specific numbers. On page 9 it lists games by units sold, but only competitive games were SC2 at 4th and Modern Warfare at 20th. The rest are mostly MMO's and Sims 3 expansion packs, some exceptions like Skyrim and Civilization V. Also lets not forget that some of those females are moms buying for their sons | ||

She also says women just don't find pleasure in getting good at things like that the way men do. She doesn't naturally find competition enjoyable. That's from a woman, not me. My brother told me the exact same thing. What's your point? | ||
