Chelsea commented on the article |Funny how I managed to play video games just fine as a kid without dealing with stereotypical girly-girl games. Then again, I had parents that didn't force me to act like the perfect little princess that girls are "supposed" to be - I've heard horror stories of parents who slap toys away from their kids because they're for the "wrong" gender(as if it's going to hurt a boy if he plays with dolls or a girl if she plays with hot wheels!). There's nothing wrong with girls who want to wear pretty clothes and such, but we shouldn't expect them all to want that, and we should certainly expect them to have interests outside of fashion and boyfriends!
Of course, boys get terrible stereotypes aimed at them too(my least favorite is probably "real men don't cry") - it's just harder to notice with video games; unless they're obviously sparkly pink girly girl games like this, video games are assumed to be a "guy thing" by default.
