I know that all male cartoonists aren't like you. You're probably familiar with the Something Positive webcomic. It's apparent that its creator has a very healthy respect for female artists, especially with how he crossed over with the Queen of Wands during its run, adopted Kestrel when it was finish and has promoted the sequel, Punch an' Pie.

But I also agree with Diane to an extent as well. I've been able to find in Japanese light novels/comics what lacks in a lot of the traditional DC/Marvel comics I grew up seeing on the rack. I would love to find a character like Lina Inverse that was created by an American artist, male or female. My problems with the vast majority of popular American comics isn't the fact that they're geared toward men, but the fact that they've been rebooted so many times that it's hard to follow the story. Granted, at times the Japanese aren't that much better, but it's still easier to follow.

But yeah, a lot of guys don't need to be kicked in the head. :)
