There was one time that my college was shotting a TV commercial about the game design degree. So they called all the girls from all the game design course to join the shotting with one random class. There were, like, 6 of us. 2 of them were ugly as hell. So they decided to invite some girls from the fashion degree. So, basically, the cake is a lie, so was the commercial.
I think that's mostly because the games are shown being for males, so most people knows only first person shooters and games with semi-naked female protagonist. Brawns no brains. No story, just pure muscles and testosterone. That's not always true but that's the image the general public gets.
We regular girl gamers got a wide variety of tastes. RPG fans, survival horror, action, I even knew another girl who enjoyed to play FPS like me. I even tried once or twice playing "girl games" and stopped in less than 1 minute, they are usually lame and boring.
