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 stock software, but my wife likes to play games to that lead me to my question. The number one reason is the growing interest that women have in tech. More women are into learning new fields whereas in the old days, only household chores are to be expected from them. When we say technology, not only washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens are the things that women are involved with. The new graphics and sound effects in video games are fascinating and do not escape the attention of women. They are not afraid to tinker with the buttons or make mistakes, so long as they are learning.

Another factor is the 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 significant reason why more women are playing video games as it is one of the determinants of achievement.

Third reason is the development of games that are not only for men. A lot of games revolve around action and adventure, most common of which are set in the war field. There are a lot of women in the world (ha ha yeah 52%) so game developers are starting to see this large potential market, and so more games are being created for them. More games today are targeted at the female demographic with softer graphics and story-lines, even tho these games are also popular with many males.

The number four reason is pure enjoyment, the same reason as most men. 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.

Fifth reason why more women are playing video games is to be in a competition against the men. Although this competition is friendly, they take place and all try to get a high achievement and that achievement makes them winners.

The trend in the society has changed. Gone are the days where men are dumbfounded – or even furious on occasion – upon finding women whose interest pushes far from the four walls of their house. When more girls play video games, there is now a point of interest shed between males and females that they can compete in. Video games give women one more topic for girls to discuss with men on dates alongside of sports, movies, politics, and other ventures that men and women can share. 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 find a copy of cheap legend of zelda.
