I found it funny that he argued that "Women like being treated with respect; they like being treated as equals" after using the argument about fawning over a woman. Obviously women who liked being fawned over aren't women following that logic.

Edit:
I'll also butt into this with some First Hand Experience (tm). I live in shared housing, I've had maybe 6 females living with me at some point. Whenever I suggest they give it a go the excuse is "I don't have the patience" or "it looks difficult".
Isn't that the point of a hobby? Gaining patience and trying something hard? Oh well, horses for courses and it takes all kinds to make a world, what?

I find myself having to ask this after spending the last couple minutes facepalming over the posts in this thread-- what the hell leads many of you guys to think that you know a single thing about why women do or don't play 40k, to the point where you think you know enough with such extreme surety that you are willing to say that your assumptions apply to ALL women?

Hell, I don't do that in this kind of discussion despite having the advantage of BEING a woman.

Most of the posts seem to be either joking, banging on about fluff, regaling tales of "women are just like blacks and hispanics, I don't care" or being insulted by grouping ("YOU ARE THE PROBLEM" out right slaps them).
Which posts you were facepalming about?

Another "first hand experience (tm) story". After Christmas there was a kiddies group going on at GW before the games. Half the children there were female. None of the children turn up for games after that though, maybe children don't play because we're all smelly and not nice.

It may be that some people like the awkward obsession.
Some mothers do ave em, what?
