If "that's the joke", then it's a terrible one with a huge amount of ignorance.
Yes, well, I never said it was funny, I just meant to try and explain it. That it shows a frustration over the fact that those marketing teams dont market to women, and if they did the person thinks they would get it wrong...i.e. the few games that have been marketed to women, or more specifically girls.
Personally I didn't laugh, but whatever.

Yeah why isnt there a pink bible for god sake!
I havent got any problems with women, i love them very much :P
But... when it comes to most feminists ive met till now ( only met 2 in real life )
I sort of find them hypocrits and the more they speak of things they dont agree on and the more they dont listen to all the thing you yourslf have to say, the more i feel like doing the worst thing you can do to a feminist as a man, "just ignore them"
Im not someone to ignore just any person, but when people are full of shit and especially hypocritical and full of misplaced hatred i tend to let them rot in their own pool of feminism.
In most conversations the words allways had a different sound then what they mean, like "equality" The constant talk about equality and with that the ambience of supremacy over man. Hard to explain maybe.
With feminists i allways feel like i am bad for the world, i do things wrong and i opress people. While i allways try to respect any human.
Also feminists who bitch about childbirth, sure i believe childbirth can be a pain in the.. vagina? But still as a man you cannot even conceive of the bond between the mother and her child. Any woman who says it is easier for a man because they dont have to give birth to their child is ( in my perspective ) out of her mind.
You could just as well see it as a gift, as a pain in the...vagina?
very good point btw.

b. Women deserve payed maternity leave.
- So why don't men deserve payed paternity leave? What about symptomatic pregnancies?
very good point btw.

Well, in a german gaming magazine called "gamestar" once was a reader letter from a kinda feminist gamer, i'm trying to translate what she wrote:
(with comments from my minority)
I count myself to the more small group of women that knew before the year of 2000 that its not uncool to take the gamepad or a mouse. Of course in that time, it was nothing to talk about free ins chool with others. If i told the other girls in euphory how i let out my creativity in age of empires a day ago, i only earned sceptical looks. An even more stupid idea proved to be talking about that with the boys, that would have had the most understanding for me. but they showed the same behaviour that makes me angry still today: girls and games? - a scandal!
(she tells about games she played now, f.e. CS at 10)
In 2005 i dared to jump into online rpgs, with world of warcraft. here i leanred another reason not to give your identity to others. the instant someone in my guild found out i was a girl, hell erupted. the dumb flirting tries, the stupid gags of the guildmaster while raiding and other reasons made me search another guild, just to see that there too someone had found out who i was.
(now she reviews her "gaming" life and greets rob pardo, who didn't imply a LAN mode in diablo 3)
Well, actually thats damn true, at least in germany. Because i've recognized that ones way to talk to that person actually changes, sometime without you recognizing it. I know a gaming girl myself, i see me talking to her like some lad of mine. And thats what should happpen, shouldnt it?
