Comic Books for Girls (Associated Content)
It's no wonder girls don't read comics books. The comic book store is teeming with unwashed, testosterone drenched males, who generally all turn their head at the first sign of a female in the store. Even if the girl is willing to brave the perils of the comic shop, they're treated to a large selection of huge boobed and often hostile female superheros. -Rudy Ascott
[Ascott explains how certain comics women like reading are available for purchase online or at bookstores such as Borders or Barnes and Noble, suggesting female readership of comics and graphic novels is an underground concept, which I am willing to agree on. However, Ascott's stereotypical claim about males and comic shops forces me to question whether or not a similar argument may be proposed about why comics make men less attractive to the opposite sex.
