I frequent a lot of sites. Some for articles, some for opinion pieces, some just to find out news. But every once in a while I find that one of these sites does a really good podcast.
On TwoDashStash.com they recently posted a podcast about Women In Gaming. They talk about the perception of women characters and they affect society as a whole. They give examples as how certain things are affecting the next generation of women gamers, they talk about developers and what their mindsets are as to why they do these things.
To be clear, they tell both sides of the story, but they aren't afraid to talk about how they feel. One of the first things they talk about is a study done for a book, after hearing about it, I got angry, mainly because I couldn't believe it happened and that it turned out that way. If you don't listen to the whole thing fine but at least stay until the end of that story, it's the first thing they talk about.

Listen to it and feel free to comment both there and here and what you heard and what you think.
