> It also found that 100 per cent of girls in the study who were already in PSTEM degrees were identified as gamers. However, the same could not be said for boys where a similar amount of gamers existed regardless of degree type, leading to thoughts that boys experience far less pressure to conform to the video gamer stereotype if they were studying a PSTEM degree.

That's a very strange train of thought. Those girls that basically said FU to all the traditional gender roles by getting educated in technology now show 100% conformity to vague expectation that STEM student is a gamer, which is funny because students know not everyone of them is a gamer.
