I do think we divide too many things into “for men” or “for women” or whatever, but at the same time, I think the distinctions can be important. At least if we’re willing to look past them. I think men have more that trouble than women, though.

I like your writing, so I’ll be reading!

I’ve only gotten into comics in the past three or four years myself, and I do get the feeling of gendered resistance, but I can sense the shift in the culture. I teach Watchmen at community college and Danny Fingeroth’s Superman on the Couch, and my girl students do get into them too, but there’s sometimes a barrier of comics being “boy stuff” that takes some of them longer to buy in. Though I did just have a girl outgeek me in class the other day which was awesome, and she already has her wondercon ticket :)
