Girls are best at gaming

"She says"

Utter rubbish.

For those of you in the US or other, the Sun is a tabloid paper that has Front Page titles such as "Freddy Starr ate my Hamster". It is a low brow newspaper, that also has a woman showing her breasts on Page 3. (hurrah).

Other such papers are the Daily Sport, which is slightly worse with headlines such as "Lancaster Bomber back from the Moon" ( i kid you not). In addition, on the positive side for the Daily Sport, it does seem to have more breasts. (hurrah x 3 )

Any article in the Sun will have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

In addition, my wife thought i was a Pagan. Every night it was burnt offerings.

If The Sun said it, it must be true. (What she said about multitasking made sence though)

oh well this article should be digged haha its too funny

anyways, spending over 2 hours a day playing a game even if its bejeweled, its good enough to call someone a gamer, so there, i've met girls pretty good at puzzles and some at fps.
its all equal, they arent as hardcore as the guys can get, but they are still gamers, and maybe better than the guys! =/

That's pretty good stuff. I once saw one...I think it might have been the Washington Star. The article has these pictures of toy dinosaurs in black and white, like the little plastic ones six-year-old's play with, blown up to look like they're taller than the man in the pic. Title:

Wow, another one of those "Women are another species which must be constantly analyzed" things. How refreshing!

To begin, I will say I created this account just because this topic always interests me.

Shatter, first off, I've been dying to say this since your lines caught my attention. If you came to this thread expecting to see a decent conversation on the idea of one sex holding generic superiority over a certain task, know this.

You're on the internet.
YOU'RE ON THE FRICKIN' INTERNET.
We are all more likely to die by meteor impact (figurative) as you read this post before a civil conversation ever takes place across the intartubes.
With that out of the way, I'll begin my content.

To the article, someone has pointed out that it is in fact from a tabloid. I'll ignore this to make my point that any study done in gender studies towards video games to obtain this result is a steaming pile of horse scat. If such were true, I'd have a lot more girl friends than the small handful I know (I'm at a dearth of friends overall, but it just means I'm closer to the ones I know). Seriously, out of the entire college population in my area, I haven't seen a single girl play video games well. Hell, I'm hard pressed to find moments where girls were playing video games in public. To extend this, I know a girl who was once a devout video gamer, and even pressured her to play with our group every once in a while, and she would lag behind our play group. My experience and passive research is just as good as a sampling of 2000 people, no?

The claim itself is a load. The possibility, however, never is. That is to say, women can exceed men just as easily as men can exceed women in a gender-neutral (as in, without social bias) activity. Gender isn't a relevant quality. Experience is. No evidence will tell you otherwise.

@ shadmeister - you should let people know however, that allthough the Sun is "low brow" it is the most popular newspaper (if you can call it that) in the UK.

somewhat sad really.

i guess most people cant be bothered kicking their brains into gear.

As 95& of previous posters, i agree this is bull.

The truth is guys, women always complain about their rights and fight for "equality" but what they really want is MORE power than men.

Women have come so far in todays society in terms of gender equality.
BUT as they gain more power do the feminist groups decrease? You'd think so BUT NO, the groups just grow and grow.

Where are the male support groups? There is none. Why? Because most of us don't bother bitching about such trivial matters.

Get back in the kitvhen bitches!

End Rant.
