Boys' games?

From Ms Sandra Weer

Sir: Judith Church alleges that the themes of computer games are "inherently male-friendly" (Inside Parliament, 8 March). While it is refreshing to see sexual equality debated in the House the idea that "space wars, destroy and conqueror themes" "inherently" alienate girls seems to promote the pernicious argument that women are intrinsically docile and domestic. We need to move towards equality not ever-increasing differentiation.

Yours faithfully,

SANDRA WEER
