why dont they make games better games for women, i want naked guys and guys wearing practically nothing. i want more action like females dominating men .

This article is complete crap. Coming from a writer's standpoint, not only is it badly written, but the author lacks a convincing argument. It is filled with contraditions and is basically shallow and uninteresting.

However, I do not make blatant comments without illustrating how a piece can be improved. Firstly, by targeting women as a whole, the writer (probably unintentionally) succumbs to Huge stereotyping. Which I especially find amusing when said writer says, "let's get out of the stereotypes."

Women are chatty? Prone to gossip? Look, man... do you Really believe everything a scientist tells you? If you were to believe everything you read, you'd also have to believe that the earth is flat, that the KKK is in the right and that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre actually happened.

My advice to you is to back up your opinions with interesting facts, quotes and other materials. The key to a gripping piece of nonfiction (opinion based or no) is to use all elements of narration and description to draw in your audience. You have the basis for a good article here, but it's extremely underdeveloped.

My favorite computer game is Age of Empires II. I've always liked my Gameboy, because I can take it anywhere I want. I would much rather talk to myself instead of some people I know.

I read this article thinking that it would be a refreshing insight into the world of video games and video entertainment. Instead, I was reminded that video games and comic books are just another "penises only" club. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read the latest issue of Spawn...

Hello Sophia. Glad to see you back!

Just some side information for those who don't know who Sophia is. Last year, when this article was first posted, a feminist gamers' Web site made a big deal about this article. One of their arguments was that because I used images of My Little Pony and Desperate Housewives, I was saying that women should play only such games. They were so pent up on calling me a male chauvinist, that they didn't see the irony of why I used these images in the first place.

Now, a year after, some of the proponents from that Web site are back and repeat the exact same arguments they posted on their site last year. We can expect a deluge of comments from like-minded readers in a short while.

I will not defend the article, as I think it speaks for itself and the average reader is smart enough to make up their mind on whether I'm an evil male chauvinist or not.

But of note, please notice how the KKK was already mentioned in the comments above and used as a comparison...

Very telling indeed.

Wow Hervé,

I'm surprised you're pushing the KKK comment. I mean, I would have just mentioned how a game like Age of Empires II is a management-based RPG somewhat similar to The Sims franchise, in that you are creating and running the lives of its characters, and that girls and women prefer to play those types of games.

I would have even pointed out that the main reason girls or women that play games like Halo would be because of the social aspect of the multiplayer.

You know Eli, I'm glad that you're an editor at the Bin, and that I'm not the only one to call the shots.

As much as I like to stay above the fray and not get involved in petty fights, stuff like that can happen. So if you think I crossed a line here, thanks for letting me know, and I'll try to do better in the future.

Thanks
