Why does it matter?

How many white, black, asians, ... are playing this game?

How many Americans, British, Russians, ... are playing this game?

How many under-30, over-30, ... are playing this game?

How many making <$20K,>$20K,>$30K ... are playing this game?

What does their sex matter? I ask, since it seems that women are made to feel self concious in largely male communities and starting a thread like this certainly conveys that message. So, why ask such a question?

I hope that there is some young female demographic which plays these games and if that experience so motivates them that they one day serve aboard a sub silently on watch to defend those of us who do nothing more than play PC games.

For what it is worth, I am a white, American, male (will not disclose income) and not trying to be politcally correct, but I find a thread such as this moderately irritating and distasteful.
