What percentage of video games includes this overt misogyny?

While I won't touch that, I do think it's fair to admit that the video game world isn't for women. How many games have female lead characters that aren't just Laura Croft-esque sex symbols? Or heck, even if you include the pure sex symbols, how many games have lead female characters? Only a small percentage right?
I'm not saying every video game hates women, but it's hard to deny that girls learn at an early age that the video game world isn't for for them. Personally I think that's kind of sad, and at least some of the feminist critics of the video game industry are just making that point.
Of course there are the crazies that argue video games = hatred of women, but then there are crazies everywhere (just look at these forums).
