We [Fraction and his wife, Kelly Sue DeConnick] were pregnant at the time, and while I was out there I started to realize that if I had a daughter, there would come a day when I would have to apologize to her for my profession. I would have to apologize for the way it treats and speaks to women readers, and the way it treats its female characters.
I knew that if we had a daughter, because I know my wife and I know the kind of girl she wants to raise and I know the kind of girl I want to raise, she was going to look at what I did for a living and want to know how the fuck I could stomach it. How could I sell her out like that?” Fraction continued. “That conversation is still coming, and I’m bracing for it in the way that some dads brace for their daughter’s first date or boyfriend. I became acutely aware that I had sort of done that thing that lots of privileged hetero cisgendered white dudes do. ‘I’m cool with women, and that’s enough.’ It’s not enough. It’s embarrassing to say, because we somehow have attached shame to learning and evolving our opinions, culturally, but I became aware that there was a deficiency of and to women in my work, and all I could do at that moment was take care of my side of the street.

I’m pretty sure the only men who spend more time thinking about DC than women on Tumblr are the men who actually work there.

I got Marvel Unlimited not long ago. For the most part I like it a lot. Thousands of comics right at my fingertips? Pretty awesome. That being said, their search function is pretty terrible, I can’t figure out if there’s some kind of automatic reading history so I keep having to go back and search for the series I had been reading the day before unless I add each individual book to my library, and there are this black boxes that pop up all over the place. Bah, hats off to Marvel for doing this, but I hope there are some updates coming…
Is anyone else using this? Have I just not poked around enough to really figure out how to navigate the site?
