A fascinating article where a reviewer decided to ask four people in
the minority of the gaming public on how they can market better to the
demographic. Some of the comments are quite a bit different than one
would expect.

For a bit of historical perspective, this is an article from 2003
discussing the myths and facts about psychological research. Part of me
doubts the validity of some of the statements due to a lack of wanting
to actually cite cases from more than one source, but it’s always fun
to play devil’s advocate. At the very least, it gives insight into some
of the studies on the topic. Besides, where else will you get an
article that claims that it’s a fact that violent video games are more
damaging than ingesting lead?

This is a bit of a bonus. It’s a Top Ten Countdown video of the most
influential females in gaming. I won’t comment too much. I’ll just say
the opening commentary doesn’t entirely match the countdown.
Consequently, I found some articles that are interesting from the stand
point of a more extreme point of view. That’s too say that people might
be taking things a bit too seriously. This includes an article that
labels Bioshock as the POSTER CHILD for Misogynistic gaming. It’s not
entirely on topic since some of the points are just so out there that
it’s unlikely anyone is going to argue for them, but it makes for an
interesting extremist perspective. If anyone’s interested, I’ll post
them later.
