I can't understand how someone would cite CNN and subsequently the ESA in such a disingenuous manner. Essentially that's a bold faced lie, I mean damn you linked it right there. It's nice that you linked to an article with horrible editorializing. It didn't take long for it to turn into "women are harassed and gaming is a boys' club" narrative. " 45% of all game players, and 46% of the most frequent purchasers of games, are female. Adult women make up 31% of the game-playing population." You realize that this doesn't mean that for Skyrim it would be the same, right? It said the exact same thing I did - that women prefer different genres, including more casual -less advanced- games such as those on phones and social media.

Yeah, this isn't exactly that relevant to the survey at all, but yes there is a low percentage of woman gamers/gaming enthusiasts (the people who would use mods and a mod hub). The numbers from studies are used disingenuously. It is roughly a half and half split for "people who play games" because of handheld and mobile games, but women tend to play more causal games on average either through their phones or through social media websites like Facebook rather than the heavier games that mainline gaming technology and culture is engrossed in. That's what skews the graph in that area, and then even in heavier games you still have splits in preference between genres. https://i.imgur.com/QwjTwT2.jpg
