Well, at some point we're going to get equality in video games right? Books used to be exclusively for men (hell, anything important in society used to be exclusively for men), but that changed over time right?
The question is just, will it be 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? In a sense that's what this entire battle is about: one side is trying to make it happen faster and the other side is trying to put off the inevitable as long as possible.

This is patently false. NOBODY is trying to put off equality in video games. That's a dumb fucking statement. I am all for someone producing something women like and will buy in the millions and play and be happy and develop a real market for. Female equality in video games can already be obtained, if enough females were interested in doing so. (Societal problem not a "gamer" problem). It is easier its ever been to produce a game. Hell I see RPG maker type games being sold in the 10-15 dollar range every day, and you barely have to script those motherfuckers. (Last Dream is great ya'll). The market for women seems to fall squarely into the "phone games" square right now. Basically things that had mechanics like NES/Puzzle games. That's not to say that ALL women are like this, cause that's a dumb fucking generalization. The games are where the market takes them. By all means women, buy more games that you like. Don't blame men for playing a game as a stripper witch who's hair is a costume and fights people with a stripper pole, or a bitch who cuts zombies with a chainsaw.
Build something, build a following by producing quality. Invest in yourself, and produce something new and worthwhile that speaks to people. Stop fucking complaining that its unfair and people are trying to hold you down. Invest in a MBA, C# or hell even some python. Examine what works in soundtrack composition. Learn about 3 act structures and invest in your writing. Do something that SPEAKS to others for fucks sake. Bitching about in equality and unequal representation is fine when there aren't avenues for you to "Git Gud". I doubt there is one mid range development firm that would patently dismiss any female with qualifications and a passion for a genre. The old hand (Japanese) firms....maybe. Bioware, Blizzard, *ugh* Ubisoft, started from nothing, didn't get handed shit, and eventually cashed out and got ruined by publishers...the American dream
It's motherfucking sad that HIDEO KOJIMA and his INFINITE problems with women can build better, more fully realized female characters than anyone I have seen. (EVA and The Boss, MGS3) And that motherfucker put a bomb in a bitches vagina.
Have you played the new Tomb Raider? That bitch was a plant except when she climbed that tower, and when she got that fucking grenade launcher.
