I actually don't really mind her tone as she's saying it how she sees it, and there's nothing wrong with that. What offends me is people so concerned with political correctness and not offending anyone that their point is diluted and loses emphasis. That said, her generalizations about men fall into the realm of personal attack and work against her making a clear, concise point.
I personally like a wide variety of games to play, so this generation has been disappointing just because of the large number of derivative FPS games on the x360/ps3. Even though there is so much development resources dedicated to a really narrow scope of games, there still have been some excellent offerings on every system that do not possess the themes she speaks of. She highlights the bad while conveniently overlooking games like Flower, LittleBigPlanet, Mario Kart, Echochrome, Pixeljunk Monsters, Wii Sports, World of Goo and others that are shining examples of games that are very much orientated towards both women and men, all of which have received notoriety and praise to varying extents.

While you list many fine games that women can enjoy equally well, I think Heather (and I) is looking for games with more depth (IE: an actual narrative) to be made with more cross appeal.
