Women gamers a paradox?

I think revolutanary psycology can be applied to video games but not the way the article had it. I think that video games in American culture have been considered a "geek" or "slacker" pasttime, Kind of like anime. But if you go to a country like Japan, Video Games were embrased as entertainment of the future, and something the whole family can enjoy, as well as anime. That is why pretty much everyone in Japan plays some type of video game, and Anime there is just considered another form of film, and does not have a "childish" or "geeky" stigma attached to it. It is why there are a whole bunch of girls gamers in japan and there are a wide varity of game types in japan. I think guys in America embrassed games without adding that stigma quicker than girls because of the shoot em' ups and fighting games and sports games. That and I think there are more geeky guys than gals.
