Instead of a dough roller and dolls now women are filling their hands with remotes and consoles. This isn't me complaining about the domestic rolls women and men normally hold, but because of a few things. Here is my opinion on my more and more females are playing video games.

Really all I use my computer for is my investing software, but my wife likes to play games to that lead me to my question. First of them is the growing interest and involvement in technology. More girls are learning about new and varied fields, leading them to higher self esteem and knowing they can do whatever boys can. When we say technology, not only washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens are the things that women are involved with. The graphics and sound effects that the video games have are cool and girls seem to be as attracted to them as men are. They don't mind making mistakes or playing around to learn the buttons, so they are learning.

A big factor is financial stability. As girls hold paying jobs they can both afford to play video games, and deserve to as a stress reliever. However, be assured that there are times the practical nature would kick in and prefer for equipment far more essential to everyday chores before indulging in the cyber entertainment. This is a major reason why more girls are playing xBox as it is one of the negatives of achievement.

The third major reason is that game development has focused a lot more on women than it used to. A lot of games revolve around action and adventure, most common of which are set in the war field. There is a number of the fairer sex also into playing them but as the game developers have seen a potential market aside from the men and the kids, more games are designed to accommodate that market. Softer graphics and more feminine story-lines are targeted, although the games of these themes can still be played even by men.

Fourth reason is for entertainment, same as everybody else’s. Cross stitching, baking and cooking are not the only activities that a woman’s hobby is limited to as it has expanded along with the advancement of technology. I'm never surprised when I see a woman with a gaming console playing it during a her free time.

A fifth reason behind this females video game phenomena is that a lot of females like to be in direct competition with men. Although this is a friendly match, they do participate in the thrill of the game and at times would be heralded as the winners.

The way that society thinks has changed. Forgotten are the times when men didn't like women to do things besides take care of the house and family. When more girls play video games, there is now a point of interest shed between males and females that they can compete in. Adding up video games in the list of introductory topics such as books, politics, sports and movies can also stimulate conversation on a first date. So, aside from the psychological and social relevance of women being able to play video games, having fun outweighs all the other reasons and the objections as well. If things keep going like this I will have to for christmas buy legend of zelda.
