Why are there so few lady game creators?

While a conversation about 'why so few women designers' was going on, I was taking my son to and back from the docs. #1reasonwhy

#1reasonwhy because my gamer daughter should have as fair a shot as my gamer son

because when I applied for a job as a Games Tester I was offered a job as a receptionist #1reasonwhy.

We're still told by peers to aspire to be an ideal that we may have no interest in being. #1reasonwhy There's no one I'd rather be but me.

I'm sick of 90% of games forcing me to play the exact same shaved-head, male protagonist. I like female protagonists too! #1reasonwhy

At a Game Ind event last night in a room full of half showered men thinking #1reasonwhy #smell Here's the sober reality bit.ly/VaxATU

#1reasonwhy because in my IT class there was only one women. #simple

Great trends! Many researchers out here? I love & am fascinated by the VG industry, but mostly from the outside! #1ReasonMentors #1ReasonWhy

Can anyone recommend resources/software/sites/people that could help my 7-year-old daughter learn about making video games? #1ReasonMentors

Many of the reasons on #1reasonwhy were not surprising to me, but seeing the out pour on #1reasonmentors is fantastic!

#1reasonmentors If you're interested in design/marketing related to gaming holler. Maybe I can help.

I'm a tech writer for the Xbox console. Glad to be part of a team that enables great games, and want to see more women here. #1ReasonMentors
