But John, that's all this argument is. Everytime I see this tired
Boys vs. Girls argument brought up here, all I see is everybody
saying "I know some girl gamers, and they play like this." It's all
anecdotal. I personally think everyone is talking out of his or her
respective ass when he or she says "Girls like X type of games." I
have no problem with sweeping generalizations, but in this case I
feel like the jury is just not in yet.
