This is something that should freak a lot of people out. According to a recent study by PC Data, (Thanks Eric) female gamers have recently overtaken males as the majority of gamers playing games on the internet:

while men make up 55 percent of overall gamers, females for the first time comprise a majority of online gamers at 50.4 percent. [...] Men are also three times as likely as female gamers to participate in first-person shooter games

    Men and women prefer different types of online and offline games. Males prefer war and sports-themed games. Men are also three times as likely as female gamers to participate in first-person shooter games (38 percent vs. 12 percent), real-time/turn-based strategy games (33 percent vs. 11 percent), and sports games (30 percent vs. 10 percent). In contrast, female gamers prefer board/card games (78 percent vs. 51 percent), gambling themes (36 percent vs. 26 percent), and quiz/puzzle/trivia contests (55 percent vs. 25 percent).
