I'm sure there are sociologists who would find some deeper meaning in these results in regard to the roles we place upon women in our society.

WAs there a breakdown on age of the women who played the video game? I wonder if we who are the aging boomers would score differently than women of other ages - bec. we were brought up to be "nice" --those some of us learned to be tough through business. Nature and nurture rears its head again. I found the article in The Economist fasccinating – enough to cut it out and discuss w/ others.
