HW 17: Girls destined to be Babysitters?

I chose a blog called "Is it every little girls dream to babysit? One video game company thinks so" from the blog Jezebel.http://jezebel.com/gossip/low-score/is-it-every-little-girls-dream-to-babysit-one-video-game-company-thinks-so-306751.php I find this blog intersting girls love to shop and love clothes and who doesnt find babies adorable? But this blog discusses how becaues of stereotypes, girls dont like cars and war and so therefore they won't like bloody, or racing video games. But recently studies have shown that women own gaming consoles (they often hold many of the high scores). World of Warcraft is atleast 40% shopping but shopping is not only what girls like. Shopping is definatly one of the popular things that girls love to do, however; it is not the only thing that they do in their spare time and video games made for girls should not only support those stereotypes of typical girl video games. Ubisoft games that have been made for girls ages 6-14 have mostly been games promoting, babies, fashion design and girly sports games which many girls may enjoy to play but some may prefer other games. Alice Taylor argues that just because babies and clothes are popular with any age girl, that Ubisoft's new line of "girl-orientated" video games is basically supporting the stereotype of girls only liking girly things.
