[QUOTE="leic7, post: 4564720, member: 59763"] ah, ok, I do make a distinction for gender against a backdrop of the severe under-representation of one gender and over-representation of another gender at this event. If a woman is qualified for the role, and all other equally qualified candidates are men, I would choose the woman to do the presentation. Is that what you have an issue with? The gaming community is going through a transition, more and more people are starting to question things about this culture that they've taken for granted before, and I guess that's part of the reason why so many people seem to suddenly converge at the realization that there is a problem with looking like an exclusive boys club. Yes, the problem has been there forever, but they didn't see it before, and now they finally see it. This is actually a very positive thing. Sony has inadvertently played an instrumental role in kickstarting an awareness campaign/movement for change in the community. It's beautiful. I did read your entire post, but I couldn't figure out if you meant finding a woman from those teams who is qualified enough to present a video game is a (near) impossibility, therefore no one could have possibly done it. My reasoning goes something like this: If you meant it's possible, not "easy", but possible if they make an effort, then the fact that there's no woman on stage would mean they didn't really make an effort, right? But if you meant it's simply impossible or near impossible, then how come the Microsoft folk thinks they can find a few members for their products, despite being in the same male-dominated industry as Sony? It might be "easy publicity" for Microsoft if they showcase more diversity at their event (we'll see about that) than Sony did, but I wouldn't call the people asking for the same level of PR performance from Sony "looking for a way to be offended". People just have higher expectations now. [/QUOTE]
