After finishing the first draft of the essay A Feminist/Masculine Look At Fighting Video Games, I knew it would be too long for one blog post. I thought people would react to it better as a two part essay.

Then I went about compiling the bibliography and realised that again, it would probably make the blog post several sections longer than it needed to be. I still wanted/needed my references, so here is the full list.

There are 23 references here (the usual quota is one reference per 250 words, so I’m over the quota count by five). Most are books that you can find in libraries if you’re interested in following up, and I’ve supplied URLs for the sources I’ve found online.
