That blog post is so absurd it makes my brain tingle with rage. Not to discredit the gender issues surrounding games, but all I see is the author letting off yet another whiny liberal shriek without having any good reason to be so indignant.
I say that because she seems the type to immediately tinge every shred of discourse with politics and looks to cry about anything which doesn't immediately correspond to her own beliefs. How can she seemingly ignore the fact they're talking about the game from the perspective of it, y'know, being a game - and during a game of the year podcast no less (no different to any other entrants, by the way)? Why should gender HAVE to be a deciding factor in such a discussion? It seems an odd thing to get hung up in this context. Perhaps you, dear author, are the one needlessly raising gender into the equation?
And more importantly, for someone who presents themselves with some degree of knowledge about the GB staff, how can she label them as so radically "boys only" when Patrick has been one of the more prominent games media voices commenting on and soliciting discussions with key people in the gender debate? I suppose it all filled up a few more paragraphs, mind you..
