نعيمة عاكف

For better or for worse, we all really are alike.

That’s what Dutch photographer Hans Eijkelboom found when he hopped around the world taking pictures of people’s clothing in major cities for 20 years. The resulting book, People of the Twenty-First Century, brings his work together for the amusing (or depressing, depending how you look at it) realization: 

A new study released by the Entertainment Software Association has revealed that adult women now occupy the largest demographic in the gaming industry. Women over 18 made up a whopping 36 percent of the gaming population, followed by adult men at 35 percent.

“Women aren’t true gamers! They play Candy Crush!”

“Women aren’t true artisans! They are crafters!”

“Women aren’t true artists! They have hobbies!”

“Women aren’t true chefs! They are cooks!”

I am so tired of this bullshit.

Sorry, male gamers of Reddit and 4Chan, but Angry Birds only came out five years ago. Unless you want to try to argue that women have just been playing Bejeweled for the last 13 years, the math just doesn’t add up.

And while the total audience for mobile social games is now bigger than ever, the audience for computer and video games is now an even 50-50 split between male and female genders.”
