Why can't we call them girl gamers? Women's Football is a totally different league, consisting of just WOMEN. Girl Gamers on the other hand, are part of the same "league" therefore "Gamers". The original argument, as I understood it, was that calling them "girl gamers" was not appropriate because they aren't an alcove or a distinctive "part" of a group of people. The term "gamer" is pretty much standarized as a male, and so are also football players. It's just the same thing. Shouldn't we change both expressions instead of just one? Logged

Sheesh I leave for 2 weeks and you forget about me? Ouch... lol And Chivalry may not be dead but its at least dieing... all the men I've met who've said otherwise have been...uh... weird... to say the least lol. I agree with Dracon on this though that it's rare enough to be noted even though it sounds kinda off... I mean if you look at today's market the number of females playing games is on the rise, however it's still a very small percentage of them that are "true gamers" and know even vaguely what the hell they are taking about when it comes to games, hence the distinction "girl gamer". Btw it's also a lovely fact to point out when hitting on a guy that your a "girl gamer." Definitely worked for me in France Logged

To bomb or not to bomb... Reputation: +6/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 4162	I just checked this topic, and noticed I was listed with the girls! WTF? I AM A MAN! Yeesh. What gave you that idea. Thank you for realizing your error! Also, why is there any need to split the gamer population between genders? As far as I'm concerned, there are gamers, and that's it. Logged
