The thing is you don't hear about the people who are not offended speaking up and smaller issue's can tend to get blown out of proportion.
That said women definitely get the short end of the stick when it comes to video game's with way too many female characters designed to appeal to men rather than being interesting fleshed out characters in their own right.
Now where I disagree with some critics is when it come's to the motivation for game developers making games oriented the way being about sexist attitudes. The game industry is first and foremost a business and the developers have been making billions by appealing to the male demographic and are adverse to making game's for women when the expected returns are uncertain.
Sure as more and more women are seen buying and playing games more and more developers are taking creating more fleshed out and realistic female characters.
Change is slow but surely happening and i hope to see more and more women in mainstream gaming.

PS: While I think most games would benefit from more realistic and fleshed out female characters it's fine to have some game's like Dragon's Crown that are clearly oriented towards men, just be honest about what it is.
