So why are there so few women on the paintball field? Could it maybe have something to do with the fact that boys have been playing with guns since they were old enough to carry them, while girls were given Barbies and bedazzlers?

Yet, despite the deck being stacked against it, there are still women who want to join the armed forces, including the special forces (perhaps because they had lots of brothers and weren't limited to traditionally "girly" toys).

Now, imagine if all little girls got to play with guns too: when they grow up, how many more do you think you'd see when you play paintball?
