I think it's safe to say that outside of Nursing or the Library sciences, you'll be hard pressed to find an technical industry niche that's female dominated (hold back the wisecracks, if possible). So, given that most technology fields are already a majority of men, we arrive at the MMOG development community. MMOG developers, after a cursory survey to just fill the ranks of this discussion group, are nearly all male.

A more cynical mind would maintain that the reason so many MMOGs follow the same paths, make the same decisions, and cater to the same public is that they were designed, built, and maintained by men, for the most part. How much truth is there to that idea, do you figure?

If your position and/or company stocked more female employees, how do you think the development efforts would differ?
