Certainly I'd say that 'gaming culture' is male-dominated, even if the gender ratios are hardly reflective of current marketing targets.

I agree with this completely.

Agree 100%. In my experience in the US it's *assumed* that only guys play video games, except for a select few games or game types. I get ignored in video game store or get asked if I'm buying for someone so often that I only buy online now, commercials and covers for games skew for men, etc, even though I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio on most genres of games are 50-50 or close to it. The online gaming culture actively trashes women and female players, and even fairly gender neutral games and publishers like Atlus tend to include extras like posters featuring half-naked women.

I have no clue who the woman in the secret is and don't really care if she does or doesn't play video games. I don't doubt there are girls who play or claim they play "for the attention" - especially with the recent fetishizing of 8-bit gaming, it's easy and sometimes socially beneficial to feign an interest in old-school gaming. But maybe, because I never saw much of an upside to being female and liking video games, I don't understand why anyone would. I assume anyone who's playing or talks about playing plays because they enjoy it, and I think ALL kinds of gamers are about equally annoying if it isn't your area of interest.

I agree with this completely. I work in a gaming store, and I get so many guys surprised I work there, asking me if I really know my stuff, etc. I've even have a few ask if I can get my male co-workers to answer their questions instead.
