Do we need the Frag dolls?

Something I have been wondering since I first heard about the Frag dolls is, is their point? I get what they are trying to do and I think it is great, but is it needed? I'm not sure if girls need encouragement to play a game.

Everyone knows video games have long since been a male dominated thing. Yet what I don't get is why we need a troop of women going around showing off that they and other girls can game if they want to. I am of the belief that most girls can think for themselves and make rational judgements whether or not they want to get into gaming.

Don't get me wrong, I think the frag dolls are a great group of women. It's just I think their original purpose has long since ended. With knew studies showing almost eighty percent of the population buying a game last year I think any stigmas about female gaming is over.

I think we could see very soon more games strictly targeted to female gamers. I'm not sure what one would look like but I'm sure they have already begun the market research. So I will say I am glad overall that a group of women were passionate enough about gaming that they wanted to get other girls into it. Yet I think that their end dream has come true.
