Aristotelian Definition of a 'Girl Gamer'

"A female gamer is a girl video game enthusiast (of any variety) who plays games that require some skill/are not of a feminine nature because she wants to (or has no outside motives) and is at least at a moderate playing level. The reason I argue this is that many girls will play a few video games simply for attention. When a girl claims to play video games it causes a lot of excitement through the male gamer community. Girls this this may have some interest in games but their primary interest is attention. By games that require some skill/are not feminine in nature. For example Starcraft or Counter Strike: Source. Starcraft is a real time strategy game (a war game that relies on your ability to gather resources and build units before the other players) games that are often played at a 'professional' level."
