With trend of the Off topic section becoming more philosophical, here's one:

Why don't girls like Videogames?

Why is it such a male-dominated hobby?

 

1)  Girls do like video games... as well as being social.  Both can take up a lot of time and it can be hard to stay on par with guys who typically spend more time playing... which makes it less appealing.

2)  For the same reason that every guy is shocked when they find out a girl likes video games, it's self perpetuating.  Plus it's awkward being the only girl around a bunch of guys.
