"Girls better than boys at making story-based computer games, Sussex study finds"

It's not about who can, it's about who do.

So what? If they want to keep demonstrating that one must always notice gender, let them.

It’s possible girls generally (not in all cases) are better than boys at this specific skill.

What bothers me is when the data shows an advantage to the girls, the press is all:

“girls are great at this, better than boys”

But if it’s the other way around in some area, the press is like: “Because of sexism/unconscious bias/discrimination, the girls are disadvantaged. A new programme is being set up to help them be better than the boys”.

This study was 6 years ago. But it bothers me how people keep sharing this, among other articles, as some final pinnacle of truth (in this case, "women are better programmers than men"). Is there any merit to this idea?

Are there other studies that document the same thing or vice versa?

Making stories is feminism all about these days anyway. Which others don't want to have any role in.

It's a bullshit study.

But we've seen female-made games, and they're all terrible. Absolutely awful gameplay, lacklustre story and thankfully extremely short playtime.

The word "better" shows what is going on: It's not an objective, but subjective study - the outcome therefor shouldn't surprise anyone.

Confirmation bias.

Oh, sure thing. Lol. Now test them both on parallel parking. I rest my case.
