Games girls play 1974

Pretty dry because it is essentially academic I probably should have found something popular science on this topic especially since I wasn t really seeing anything new English Honestly I could not finish Something about the research and the conclusions being made bothered me Some of the studies cited are from 2007 and sorry a lot has changed since then in the industry In addition it isn t jiving with the reality of my experience as not only someone who gamed but also with my experience with other girls women who game Their feelings and thoughts on gaming differ radically from the conclusions made so far in the book I think I made it to the third chapter Yes there s still misogyny Yes there s still hypersexualization of characters Yes there s still male than female characters But a lot has changed and it still changing I don t know what else to say I wanted badly to like and finish this book The author makes some great points about the differences in leisure time between girls and boys and how leisure is viewed differently between those binary genders What s concluded and represented though feels like it is being forced And if I have to be completely honest I just didn t like the writing and presentation of results It s a no go for me and this is one of the few times I will not finish a book English
