On -isms: "Must Be Nice"

I could probably find a rant like this to run every week for an "On -isms" post, but this one's pretty short and to the point. Here are some Tweets from Mellanie Gillman from yesterday...

"It must be nice being a woman in comics, 'cuz it's easier to get noticed" is a real line I heard last night, SO LET'S DISCUSS, SHALL WE

What that's really saying: "It's impossible that successful women in comics got there on MERIT, so it must mean they have gender advantages"

"Maybe women stand out more because they're a minority in comics!" Maybe the reason they're a minority is all the sexist bullshit in comics

Gillman is the creator of As the Crow Flies. It's quite good. You should read it.
