Some women gamers that I personally know
Woman A (German)
Started PC games when she was like 10 years old. Got some proficiency in C++ back then. Famously inserted her teacher's picture into a Doom level. Always builds her own PC. For some odd reason, it was me who got her off the PC sauce and hooked her on the PSX and consoles. She now owns a truckload of consoles, including an SNES with a GameBoy emulator (and my GB games). She's doing very well with first person shooters, and enjoyed a whole lot of games from the more narrative based (Uncharted etc) via the solid mixtures (Dragon Age III) to the more hardcore experiences (new Doom).
Woman B (German)
Started gaming with the PSX and got enamored with racers primarily. Which is odd seeing that like me, she can't really play first person games. She often plays games via network with Woman A, centers heavily on narrative games these days. I've spent a few days with her in May/June, when she was kicking my ass around on some PS2 racers. Granted, I really suck at these.
Woman C (Norwegian)
Builds her own PCs, streamed some adventure games for my community. I don't know what she plays these days, but I do know that you don't build a hardcore PC if you don't play the hardcore stuff on it.
Woman D (Norwegian)
Half asian and covered in tattoos, I haven't talked to her in ages. But she's still in my Discord channel, and we see her playing/streaming some weird-ass shooter with people all the time. Like, all the fucking time.
Woman E (American)
She likes it simple and probably couldn't figure out how to build her PC. She streamed about half a dozen games for my community, most of them slow-paced point & clicks. After she finished Breath of the Wild, tried to get her to stream/play Beyond Good & Evil... but the driving sequences definitely aren't her cup of tea, so we abandoned that idea.
Woman F (German)
I work with the little blue to green haired punk and she's putting one Life is Strange meme after another on her instagram, tumblr or whatever is rad these days. No idea what else she plays, but one day I'm going to find out. :P
Woman G (German)
Plays mostly the Story/Actiony stuff on PS4 and has recently completed The Witcher III. She always seems to have the good new stuff, so I'm wondering whether she accidentally slips these games in her bag at work (which happens to be Amazon).
Woman H (Australian)
Sadly haven't talked to her in a while. She's from Australia orginally, then went to England for a job and then to San Francisco. She was heavily into Telltale's games, so we ended up moderating their forum together with a wacky bunch of mods. Then Telltale made her Senior Creative Communications Manager. A few years later she came to an agreement with them while she was on maternity leave when the first batch of layoffs struck. Wam, she was out of the picture. Haven't talked to her since sadly. We wanted to meet for gamescom, but she never went. And she never wrote that letter of recommendation! Dammit. :)
... these are all real gamer persons that I like. So, yeah, all kinds of games are suitable for women, but not necessarily for you personally.
If you're asking yourself right now why this post is down-rated: Evidently, MRAs/Incels whose reality was shattered to smithereens. Or Nazis. Or both. Merry Christmas, everyone!
/edit January 2019: I think I'm adding to that list because frankly, I know a good few more.
