It's a generalisation that I've seen some GW store staff buy into, though they were only isolated examples and I suspect the people involved had problems dealing with people regardless of their gender.
When I was at university, a bunch of us were really into Epic. My then girlfriend went into the GW store on Oxford Street in London to get more stuff for her Dark Angels and was told that she really should consider collecting Eldar because you could paint them in pretty colours. The guy assumed that what she must really want was a pink army...
More recently, a friend, who has a 40K Guard army and had gone to another store to buy more tanks, was told that compared to other 40K armies 'playing Eldar was a good way to get the female psyche accustomed to violence and tactics.' She just smiled and informed him she was a police officer and had spent the last few days in a team kicking in the doors of drug traffickers, clearing the place room-by-room and arresting everyone inside. The manager came over and apologised for his colleague at that point.
Again, just isolated examples and one which say more about the general social skills of those people.
Nice one, thanks for the link. My Kommandoes look like a much rougher version of that Ork in the top right, only with a large lump of flock for its body.

If you do it right you can make a whole unit out of the bitz box

Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
Yup, I actually think it has more to do with the same things I love about archaeology and art history, lost beauty, crumbling empires and elegant decay.
