“I’d love to add something exciting and meaningful, but I don’t think I’m as well versed in this as you are, so let’s pretend that I’ve said something exciting and meaningful, shall we? S’cuse my following waffle – I’m not sure it’ll be coherent, but here goes . . .

All I can say is that I share your frustrations. Even being a girl gamer, let alone a female developer, is enough to warrant raised eyebrows (apparently). I think my age/demographic makes it harder for me, for not many girls my age grew up with consoles, but for many years I *hid* that I was a gamer – how crazy is that? Yet it was a guilty secret and even now, friends say I’m sad and a nerd and, “But you have a life!” What?! What’s that got to do with anything!

I think there’s plenty of the talent in the UK; I just think women are turned off it, not just by men but by the attitudes of other women, too. We don’t support each other. There needs to be better incentives to get females into the industry, including mentoring, apprenticeships, internships and scholarships – all exclusively for women (up until the balance is readdressed, and then we can have gender parity again, obviously). Problem is, the glass ceiling exists in every industry we have – and all the head-butting can get tiresome.

And don’t get me started on the fucking babysitting ‘games’ targeted at young girls these days. WTF?

You’re absolutely right about expectations guiding outcomes – it’s all about changing those expectations at a deeper societal level. I do think that change is happening slowly – I wonder how we can encourage and expedite that process, though.
