[casual_games] Games for women made by women?

[Ron]

 > Give us a clue then, what games should men be building for women?

Or, can you point to a casual game that is currently out there that has 
all the right elements?

I've been dealing with this question since I started making games in 
1985.  It's always been a bunch of men (or boys!) trying to make games 
that appeal to women.  But, I've known a lot of women game designers and 
programmers that don't do much better.  I've sat in design meetings 
where the female game designer runs through the same list of stereotypes 
(shopping!) that the guys do.  Is there such a thing as a game for 
women?  A movie?  A TV Show?  A book?

While there are Movies, Books and TV Shows that have a high "female 
demographic", I suspect that the truly successful ones have a much 
broader appeal.
