Girls just wanna have fun, and it’s okay with parents as long as it’s cute and fuzzy. At least, that’s what the studies are showing.
If you’re a boy, your parents are more likely to let you play “hard core” video games. But this isn’t to say Peggle isn’t awesome, right? According to a study conducted by PopCap games, 60 percent of parents would not allow girls from playing hardcore games as opposed to 37 percent forbidding boys.
A small thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for being born a boy, considering my love for all things violent and pixelated.

Most girls dont even like games…
“They get 50% of your wages when divoreced”
“they get more acceptions when in court” but no still girls think they have it hard and cant do what they want.
Do you know what I find sexist?… girls/women want to do everthing and anything a man can do and protest when they cant, but they get “women only car insurence”
This is similar to racism?… A “white” guy only needs to say the word black “wrongly” and boom hes concidered racist but yet I here so many and see so many things that ethnic people say or do and people turn a blind eye to it.
Seriously the world sucks and so do most of the people who are ignorant of the world around them that is falling apart.

I agree with Motorbreath, this is all too true.

I really don’t see what’s wrong about having girls play “hardcore” games. If my daughter ever had an interest in a video game, the only thing that I would take into consideration is the ESRB rating for that title. That’s the only thing that I will look into and not if the game is boy or girl friendly

OH FUCK NO! If I have a boy and he wants to play Barbies Pony Adventures, the only thing he’s going to get is a spank’n.
