There is at least one website devoted to girl gamers and game developers.
I do not remember the URL, it got alot of publicity several years ago
when a reported discovered it.

One whole Web site, eh?

There was a company devoted to games for girls some years ago
(something-Moon as I recall), but it folded out of a lack of business.

I don't necessarily think that games should be written specifically
for either sex. However, the fact remains that almost all existing
game titles are written by boys for other boys, so naturally girls are
not that prominent in the market. And, as previously noted, girls are
more social, so games without social elements or online interaction or
something along those lines are less appealing to girls than to boys.
Boys tend to like things; girls tend to like people.
