Instead of the traditional needles and threads, on women’s hands nowadays are joysticks and keypads of the latest games. No, this is not a protest over the domestic roles they normally hold, but due to a number of reasons. Here is the list on why more women are playing video games.

Really all I use my computer for is my stock trading software, but my wife likes to play games to that lead me to my question. First of them is the growing interest and involvement in technology. More girls are learning about new and varied fields, leading them to higher self esteem and knowing they can do whatever boys can. When we say technology, not only washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens are the things that women are involved with. The graphics and sound effects that the video games have are cool and girls seem to be as attracted to them as men are. They are not afraid to tinker with the buttons or make mistakes, so long as they are learning.

Another factor is the financial stability. As they hold paying jobs, they can afford to purchase gadgets and be able to indulge spending a few hours into accomplishing the missions of the video games. That being said one can be sure that there are times when the natural thoughts will kick in along with a preference for more essential items before indulging in tech. This is a major reason why more girls are playing xBox as it is one of the negatives of achievement.

The third major reason is that game development has focused a lot more on women than it used to. Lots of games focus on action and adventure, mostly they are set in the war field. There are a lot of women in the world (ha ha yeah 52%) so game developers are starting to see this large potential market, and so more games are being created for them. Softer graphics and more feminine story-lines are targeted, although the games of these themes can still be played even by men.

Fourth reason is for entertainment, same as everybody else’s. Sewing, cooking and cleaning are no longer an area of “entertainment” for women, so their hobbies have grown along with the forwarding of technology. I’m never surprised when I see a woman with a gaming console playing it during a her free time.

A fifth reason behind this females video game phenomena is that a lot of females like to be in direct competition with men. Although this is a friendly match, they do participate in the thrill of the game and at times would be heralded as the winners.

The trend in the society has changed. Gone are the days where men are dumbfounded – or even furious on occasion – upon finding women whose interest pushes far from the four walls of their house. Indeed, when more women are playing video games, there is a new common point of interest that can be shared between the two genders, including competition. Adding up video games in the list of introductory topics such as books, politics, sports and movies can also stimulate conversation on a first date. Apart from social benefits of women being able to play video games, the enjoyment probably outweighs any benefit by giving women a good avenue of expression and a place to vent their frustration.
