Sexism & 2000 ad: One "Professional Lady", One "Bitch" & One "Scabbed Whore", Oh Dear ...
Over at Girl-Wonder, there's a final piece of mine on the matter of sexism in 2000ad, in which I explain why it's a subject that has finally defeated me. There's a limit to how long a well-meaning head can be uselessly slammed into a particularly solid brick wall, and my head's reached that limit, it really has.
So, why not pop over to Girl-Wonder and to the words of a perplexed and somewhat thoroughly disappointed man responding to a month of weeklies in which, yet again, women are largely defined by their bodies, their sexual pasts, and/or their capacity to be an angst-inspiring hostage? The link is placed in the box immediately to your right and just up an inch or so, under the label of post number 3, and you'd be very welcome to click upon it, I do assure you. (Alternatively, and while I'm working out how to add a hyperlink, you might want to cut'n'paste http://girl-wonder.org/gwog/2011/02/outthere-no-3-on-2000ad-late-januaryfebruary-2011 :))
Next time, a final look at the Paul Cornell/Gail Simone "Action Comics/Secret Six" crossover. Or, at least, I fully expect that part 4 of 3 will be the last piece, although I have been wrong about such matters before, to say the very least ...
