So how is it that...

[Comicopolis]

Probably 5 female board members who post here on a 'regular' basis.

 

At least 2 of them have started threads here recently which addressed the treatment of female characters in modern comics or the behaviour towards women by male comic book collectors.

 

Neither thread could be called 'progressive' in its outcome.

... Evidently there is not one female soul on this board, and since this forum is a good representation of the comic industry (I know, I cant believe I made that statement too), how do you explain that at least a quarter of my buyers on eBay and Amazon are females?

 

 

 

 

You mean except for the several female souls that post here on a daily basis?

 

 

I heard one of them had no soul, but that may be just a rumor.

Sharon and Sara have enough soul for the ones who don't.

 

And here's a lady who has more soul than ALL of us put together...

Not to change the subject, but just an observation I found interesting...of the almost 150 advisors to Overstreet, not a single one is black.

 

There are 3 women though

 

 

Judging by the convention dealers I normally see, comic dealers are usually one of three colors: Pasty White, Painfully White, and Translucent.

 

 

That's why I try to spend money with Foolkiller and Harley whenever I can.

When I was collecting as a teenager, a significant portion of the books I added to my collection were purchased for me by my mother, as gifts. Many of the women may be buying for their children or boyfriends.

Have I missed the gender profile in ebay?

 

(kdding, Im assuming you mean you end up shipping to female names 25% of the time)

 

but then again based on your statistical skills determining the # of female board members, Im not sure how much I should rely on your reporting of 25% ebay/amazon sales being to women.

 

Also I never thought of this board as being part of the comic industry, the comic market, sure.... but outside of some of the tallent that shows up over at the Sig Serius forum or darthcorgi I'm not sure many of us are contributing to the industry...

 

I drive a car but I dont consider myself as part of the auto industry. Heck I've bought and sold a few in my years too.. but still not part of the industry.

[miraclemet]

It also wouldn't surprise me if female comic book fans prefer the simplicity and relative anonymity of buying on ebay/amazon vs wading thru the male dominated cons & comic shops (and comic book forums)

Are you sure? I get the impression that you are Not*Sure.
