I got a request from Snikt Ninja45 (his message board name) asking to write something for me. He feels it’s an issue that I should have touched on, but have not.

It’s Tough Being a Guy Into Comics

by Snikt Ninja45

Yeah, I see all the girls crying about no good female characters with big boobs that make it so tough. But how do you think it is for us guys? I mean, first off? Those men are all idealized, with super abs and stuff. You think I can live up to that? Sure, I have a pretty good exercise routine going playing tennis on my Wii. But how many guys do you see with Batman’s physique? Heck, they have to fake it with plastic in the movies.

Plus, we have to put up with all you girls (and some nancy boys) whining over stuff like Michael Turner’s awesome cover art. I see girls with racks like that all the time when surfing the web. or example there are the following website to check out: (Edited for being really, really inappropriate)

Plus, the complainers are mean! They put down anyone who likes the stuff they deem sexist. Come on, Supergirl’s costume is totally iconic and it’s hot. And all the complaints about the boob window for Powergirl? Whatever! It’s a powerful statement on her lack of identity! If you read the mini-series a couple years back, you’d know that she keeps that space open for a “logo”! But no you just keep complaining! Nothing is good enough for you. You can’t just suspend belief and enjoy comics. Geez!

You know what I think it really is? The girls who complain are all jealous of the comic girls. They wished they looked like that. So, they don’t want comics (which are made for the larger guy based comic market) to be enjoyable for us guys. I know plenty of girls who don’t care and don’t burden us with stuff like this. Why can’t the rest of you be like that? I mean, isn’t something like the way women are treated in Iran waaaaay more important than how tiny Star Sapphire is?

And lets talk about the male characters some more. All I ever hear about is how women characters get treated so poorly. But look at all the male heroes who had to see their wives or girlfriends get raped or killed. You don’t think finding your girlfriend stuff in the refridgerator is tough? Man, they run those super hero guys through the ringer, but no, you don’t care! You are to worried about Supergirl’s skirt!

Man, if you feminists hate comics so much, stop reading them! I mean, you know what ELSE I think? Let me just quote Don Imus here. He once sa-
