I think this all overstates the effect games have on us whether or not a female in involved even. The evolution of the mind is dependent on what one fixates him or herself to or rather latch onto as truths. If one wants to fixate on a game (some people have, see Grand Theft Auto) then they will. But the entire "games shape how women should be or have to be for me to like them/love them' is not true if you have any developed anima at all. If something is as cut and dry as "we put big breasts on this woman and made her love the main male character to attract the male audience" then some of us men actually ignore that because it provides no real intellectual stimulus. It is too old, too boring. And to keep going on about it is old as well. Oh and just for fun, let's see what Jung's idea about the anima was about!
Jung believed anima development has four distinct levels, which he named Eve, Helen, Mary and Sophia. In broad terms, the entire process of anima development in a male is about the male subject opening up to emotionality, and in that way a broader spirituality, by creating a new conscious paradigm that includes intuitive processes, creativity and imagination, and psychic sensitivity towards himself and others where it might not have existed previously.
The first is Eve, named after the Genesis account of Adam and Eve. It deals with the emergence of a male's object of desire.
The second is Helen, an allusion to Helen of Troy in Greek mythology. In this phase, women are viewed as capable of worldly success and of being self-reliant, intelligent and insightful, even if not altogether virtuous. This second phase is meant to show a strong schism in external talents (cultivated business and conventional skills) with lacking internal qualities (inability for virtue, lacking faith or imagination).
The third phase is Mary, named after the Christian theological understanding of the Virgin Mary (Jesus' mother). At this level, females can now seem to possess virtue by the perceiving male (even if in an esoteric and dogmatic way), in as much as certain activities deemed consciously unvirtuous cannot be applied to her.
The fourth and final phase of anima development is Sophia, named after the Greek word for wisdom. Complete integration has now occurred, which allows females to be seen and related to as particular individuals who possess both positive and negative qualities. The most important aspect of this final level is that, as the personification "Wisdom" suggests, the anima is now developed enough that no single object can fully and permanently contain the images to which it is related.
So rather than complain about feminism we should be more angry at the lack of evolution in the minds of people. But then there's freedom of speech which says that they can spew whatever nonsense they want. How are we supposed to believe that people can evolve when there is something that says that they can believe whatever they want? Evolution happens when a creature needs to find a pathway to obtain something they cannot currently obtain so that they can survive. What needs to happen is a direct rethinking from top on down of how women should be treated in all stages of life as it seems that people tend to just repeat what their parents do and keep the old ways up. We need to make abuse and things like that a thing of the past. We need to break that cycle and no amount of complaining is going to do that.
And yes I realize it would take some sort of chivalrous army to do that since there is abuse and lack of caring at all levels of the justice systems in most, if not all, countries. That will probably only stop if a female government took over or some men in government grew some balls and cared about women other than the ones they are banging.
