A brief history of feminism and video games.

Why does this only go back to 1995? The "lol look at the loser and his videogames" attitude goes back to 1980, at least.

i've wondered about this pattern with women who watch sports, too. in my grandparent's generation (at least in my family) no women watched sports on tv. at holidays the men would retire to the den to put on football, the women would chat in the dining room and drink coffee. at some point, women co-opted this tradition - today, women host super bowl parties, are just as excited as the men are to tailgate, etc. i wonder how much of it is women becoming "interested" in watching sports, and how much of it is getting and controlling male attention.

i suppose with Title IX women are active in sports in a way they weren't 2 generations ago, however my critique is focused more on watching sports as a hobby, rather than participating in them.

What does this have to do with Men's Rights?

Yes! Because women should all be generalised!
