Response to "Video Games"

In response to Beth's article on video games, which can be found at http://ejones1.blogspot.com/

The statistics she provided from CNN, are extremely accurate! Men are easily 3 times more likely to get addicted to video games then women are. From an individual aspect, how many of your friends that play video games are males? Personally, I know only a few women that enjoy to play video games, and no offense to the women reading this but they are not very good at it. The arguement is what makes men have more competitive drive and ease of addiction compared to that of women? She described that men have more brain activity that senses the competition that they feed upon due to the MRI brain scanning results. Could it simply be that women are not interested in flashy video games therefore the tests are altered? Typically women do not take interest in things that are aggresive and "guy-esque" such as cars, alcohol, or drugs as much as men take interest. In today's society men are trained to have aggresive behavior, the same aggresive behavior could lead to the possible addiction to alcoholism, drug addiction, or even video game addiction. Women are by the basis of society, to act in a complacent manor which could lead to less reports of addiction. However, they do get addicted to shopping quite easy(just kidding).
