Actually, this reminds me how I went to both of the GameStops in my mall today and was kind of surprised to find female employees. Usually it's always guys. :/
I hate that assumption so much. GIRLS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COMICS, THEY ONLY KNOW ABOUT BAKING PIES.
Last week two ten-year-olds tried to chase me out of the comic book aisle. There is a girl here and she is contaminating our macho macho comics was written all over their tiny faces.
It's just ... I WORK HERE, GUYS. I ACTUALLY WORK HERE. WHY WOULD YOU ASSUME THAT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MARVEL YOU NEED TO WAIT TIL YOU HAVE A MAN TO TALK TO WHEN I AM WEARING AN AVENGERS SHIRT AND YOU JUST SAW ME READING DEADPOOL.
They were half my height and all, "BEGONE WOMAN. HAVE YOU WANDERED IN HERE BY MISTAKE? YOU ARE GETTING YOUR COOTIES ALL OVER OUR IRON MAN COMICS." It would have been cute if not for the burning hatred in their eyes.
Well clearly you were only doing those things so you could fool people into thinking you know about comics. He has seen through your clever disguise. 8|
oh dude. i know your pain. i work in an electronics store and you have no idea how many times men (and even women, wtf!) ask to talk to a guy, or someone "who knows what they're talking about". WELL GEE OF COURSE I WORK HERE AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT WE SELL...NOPE. >(
so yeah i feel you on the sexism here. :| it makes me want to punch people in the face. i've had people look at me, blink, and turn to a guy when i asked if i could help them out. D8
I was in a comics shop a while back and they had little mini-reviews taped to the shelves next to some of the titles. One of them actually described a series as being "too violent to show your girlfriend". Right. Because everyone knows girls don't read comics with blood or violence and we must be shielded from such things! OH. BUT WAIT. I, myself, am female and I read some of the most gruesome comics out there, up to and including Hellblazer and Blade of the Immortal.
Yeah, I really had to resist the urge to punch someone that time.
