Benefits of Gaming from a Girl's POV
For me, games help put me on an even playing field with boys. I'm 4'9" and when I compete with guys, it is normally intellectually. You won't see me wrestling or lifting or running against any guy..and winning. Games are a medium in which I can sit in front of an interface and despite any physical weakness or lack or height, I can compete with a guy. I may not be any good, but with enough practice and playing I could potentially win.

That is such a nice point, Mai. I bet it holds true for a lot of boys who don't feel like they are physically as strong as, say football players.
And competition is so big for boys (and men). I think that while everyone is thinking about gender stereotyping it'd be great to think about how men get stereotyped as physically 'super-men' in these games.
