GTA V: 8 Reasons Why It's Blatantly Misogynous

By Joseph Dempsey /

1. No Female Protagonist

We've already established that the women in GTA V are depicted as prostitutes, strippers and blonde, vacuous, air-headed bikini babes who can occasionally be found wandering around with their breasts out at certain points in the day. But it's the continued lack of a female protagonist that tends to draw most fans€™ ire when it comes to discussing attitudes toward women in Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar included three protagonists for the first time ever in a GTA game with €˜V€™, yet they still saw no room to make one of them a woman, while there are very few €“ if any €“ strong female roles found throughout the game. Grand Theft Auto may have been viewed as a 'man's game' about a decade ago, but times have changed since then - more and more publishers are giving women more prominent roles in their video games, and it's time Rockstar followed suit and got with the times. Do you think GTA V is misogynistic? Let us know in the comment section, below.
