Hrm...I too would like to stay away from stereotypes, but don't
females tend to enjoy talking on the phone?  How does this match up
with the need forphysical interaction?  Do you think that a real
voice gives enough of a physical presence to communicate what
females are looking for in their interaction?

In your opinion, and for the moment setting aside possible
technology barriers, what effect do you think quality voice-over-IP
would have on how females enjoyed internet games?  With this feature
in place, is sitting by herself at her computer really much
different than sitting by herself at her phone?
