Boys and their toys...
What makes you think it's just boys?

As with the online version of GTA, there will be plenty of options to create a female character in RDR.

And the number of female gamers around these days - in these games and others - is steadily rising.

There's plenty available in the gaming world for everyone.

Good to know! I would be the last person to want any opportunities to be denied because of being female. Never played any of the games mentioned. Gaming was not my cup of tea & had other responsibilities to take up my time...

Well, what fun would it be to deny half the members of our species access to an activity?

What fun would that be?

I didn't care for video games as a kid. I came to them in my early 20s when they started becoming interesting.

No fun at all. Opportunities for woman have gotten better in many different areas than when I was a young girl.
For example, in school, we girls were only allowed to take business courses and what was called home economics. Business courses trained skills toward secretarial work. A woman's career-oriented path. Home economics trained cooking, sewing & homemaking. Again, a woman's career path.

Girls could not take auto, shop, or woodworking. It just was not allowed.

I think things have changed in today's schools and courses are now offered to either sex.

Because it is good for boys to know how to cook and girls to know how to do an oil change.

So whenever, what is considered "a boys" thing that a girl can do & whenever what is considered

"a girls" thing that a boy can do, this is progress for both sexes.

When I was at high school during the 1980s, I hated Technical Studies - Metal Work, Woodwork and Plastics - so I chose to do Home Economics - Cooking, Sewing and Social Skills. I was one of only two boys to do so.

I grew up in a household where both of my parents were nurses. Dad had been a drover, a soldier during WWII and a police officer afterwards. However, by the time I was born, he was a male nurse. That's how he and mum met. She started nursing in the Netherlands and than came out to Australia in 1960. So I was always under the impression that both genders were equal, it merely came down to how different personalities interacted with each other.

By the way, I still hate with a passion all activities that have anything to do with automotive maintenance, welding, woodwork and so on and so forth - also gardening and any house maintenance or DYI projects...
