Dave's not proclaimed a hatred for, dislike of, or mistrust of women. He's commented relationships, and certainly his gender places a bias on that commentary that as he is male it must surely mean he hates women. But so far as Dave being a misogynist -- I've seen no substance to support that claim.EG Comicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276882719612816746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-62176237132010662552008-05-05T21:22:00.000-07:002008-05-05T21:22:00.000-07:00I can't say whether or not Sims is a mysogynist, n...I can't say whether or not Sims is a mysogynist, namely because I'm never read anything of his that has been overtly mysogynist (I've only read High Society). I've read arguments that he is a mysogynist, but not actually read the offending work. Bill, if you'd like to forward me an entire run of Cerebus, I will read it, and (if not convinced of his mysogynism) I will sign the petition. :)<BR/><BR/>But, until them, I will remain neutral on the matter. <BR/><BR/>I actually sort of hope his is a mysogynist though. If only because I once read an excellent article in the Believer that, not only maintained he was, but also then went on to argue that Cerebus was a better and more important work because of that fact. If you haven't read the article, Mr. Ritter, you should track it down. It was interesting, whether or not you agree with it.The Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882212598013962066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-18244735822667136842008-05-05T19:44:00.000-07:002008-05-05T19:44:00.000-07:00What has he said that has irked the millions?

I've held volume 1 of Cerebus in my grubby hands before, but never had the balls to follow through with a purchase. it just seems so voluminous and I have enough voluminous geek baggage tying me down (I'm looking at you, George Lucas). <BR/><BR/>Convince me.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499127155591828226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892865276755822178.post-58089258297244189562008-05-05T19:04:00.000-07:002008-05-05T19:04:00.000-07:00I know far more of the Dave-Sim-is-a-misogynist ar...I know far more of the Dave-Sim-is-a-misogynist arguement than I do the converse.<BR/><BR/>If you care to write a post on your counter-opinion (which is what I thought this was!)
