Comment on Is the games industry institutionally sexist? by david glance

I personally think it is endemic in all industries. I have worked in software, health, finance and higher education – the only distinguishing feature was the prevalence of women in the workforce and the roles that they mainly took in this areas. That may have some bearing on attitudes – highlighting it in the case of environments with fewer women?

The games industry is probably institutionally sexist – but I wonder if it is more so than others.

Hi David. Just for clarity, do you think that this is a problem endemic to the games industry or elsewhere? I see the problem in other places but the extent or way it takes its form different. Personally I think this damages men and what it means to be male as well as damaging women. From what I can see comments such as the one you highlight above are often (but not always) a result of someone feeling threatened. Not that this excuses such behaviour, but I would suggest that it perhaps reflects the perception of change and a challenge to some men’s identity within society.

I’m not sure I understand why the games industry should be any different from any other – I saw an article about Amelia Andersdotter – the Swedish Pirate Party MEP – there were the inevitable comments about her looks – in the absence of anything intelligent to say, it is the first resort of the ignorant. Women can dress in sackcloth and still be accused of provocative dressing. It is a given.
