Default Girls and flying -- an interesting experience with the Kiwi

Maybe girls like the same things boys do.


No, they do not.

"Aiming things at girls" may be attempting to create and perpetuate
an artificial stereotype.


The stereotype is not artificial. It is consistent in large
populations. Video games are popular with boys because they are
designed by boys. Also, girls have a slight preference for real-world
interaction in general, although I don't think it's enough to be a
factor for video games.
