You're presented with the page linked above when you do (if you're in the UK/EU).

ESA weighs in on the UN's "uninformed, misguided and unfortunate report".
--- Quote ---"This is an uninformed, misguided and unfortunate report. If the overall issue was not so serious, it would be laughable that the U.N. is citing this work. It is willful ignorance to utilize such incredibly outlandish and outdated data,” said Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of ESA. “ESA strongly supports empowering women and minorities and creating an inclusive digital environment that welcomes all perspectives. However, the U.N. does this important issue a great disservice and undercuts its credibility by spreading ridiculous stereotypes and false opinions."
--- End quote ---

It's interesting to note that UKIE, TIGA, ISFE and other Industry representative groups don't appear to have made any comment on the UN's report, the ESA seem unique in this regard even though the reports concerns are not exclusively North American.

Note: Posts about this particular issue might have been better placed in Guns, games and real world aggression & violence were it not for the calls to use outright censorship as a solution to the problem presented.

although i'm not a huge fan of the esa, it's good to hear them standing up against this gender biased nonsense.
