It isn't surprising, at least with my anecdotal experience, but still higher than I expected. Two girl friends of mine started to play lan parties with us since covid, and I know another that is completely obsessed with Valorant, and another that is equally obsessed with Football Manager.
I tried to find the original study and can't. The only source that everyone points to is this tweet by the executive director of Circana. Anyone knows where I can find it?
Back in the day, our AoE2/WC3 clan had a female member. At one clan LAN, her boyfriend was there to check what we were doing, but he left after about an hour because he doesn't like gaming :D I always thought that's an anecdote that would have blown certain "gamers" minds ;)
