well there is, just not as much as people are making it, and not as many women are going through it. It's actually 93 to 97 cents due to actual sexism and even then it depends where they work. The rest is because they take more time off like having kids and shit.

True, but it's been ramped up a lot in the last 5 or 10 years.

Not helping is that books are all written for trades now so the story moves at a snail's pace already, and then the story stops to tell you how strong women are for three pages.

It should rightly be called the 'earnings gap' since up to 3 percent of the so called wage cap is thanks to sexism and even that number is perhaps exaggerated.

>I’ll quote some of Bigby’s words for you:
>“Here’s what you need to know about it. Israel is a tiny country surrounded by much larger countries dedicated to its eventual and total destruction... they [Israel] stay alive by being a bunch of tough little bastards who make the other guys pay dearly every time they do anything against Israel. Some in the wider world constantly wail and moan about the endless cycle of violence and reprisal. But since the alternative is non-existence, the Israelis seem determined to keep at it. They have a lot of grit and iron. I’m a big fan of them.”

More articles can be found, just google "Fables Israel", was back in issue 50, so a long time ago now.

There needs to be an Earth-X style series where every stupidly mundane event like this triggers superhero powers. Got an x-ray at the dentist? Superpower. Bitten by a wild animal. Superpower. Somehow passed out with your face on your iPhone? Superpower.

Internet was truely a blessing but also a curse.

Same for most of the so-called SJW or even /pol/tard. And I don't even want to talk how internet allowed every autists (here used in the 4chan sense) to have their own hugbox.

Almost outright impossible.

Feminism is fractured into a thousand and one different sub categories everyone claiming to be the true feminists and those taht are educated believe, and is the ones who thought of, the progressive stack thanks to intersectionality.

Disregard the camera-man being slightly belligerent and watch this video and see what educated feminists are teaching.

I don't get it. Sure, we can talk about tampons, but I don't know to what end. Its not a complicated piece of women's sanitary equipment, except for the fact that unlike sanitary napkins, you stick it up there like men's penis instead of a diaper.

I get the distinct sense that she felt this is in some way stick it to the boys, like we will all run away in fear of cooties when she just mention the word, like dripping her period blood on the imaginary "no girls allowed" signs. Comic were never as exclusive as that, frankly, and this just comes off as being petty high school theatrics. I expected more from adults.

The character she wrote is also a narcissist who doesn't really care about helping people or any sort of higher learning. She wanted to be super hero because it brings her attention and validation. How stereotypical can she be? Women are better than that.

It's literally the same. 97 cents to a dollar is also 97 percent of a dollar. They're interchangeable.

I'll agree with you to a point. It IS about money, but not as much earning them (that's what the variant covers, events and constant reboots are for), but rather "not spending that much of them". Hiring people that actually CAN write is counter-productive if what you're selling isn't stories, but solicitations.

Your first link argues for the same position you do, that there likely is a 7-3 percent pay cap thanks to discrimination. Though they make little case for it other than that there must be some form of sexism because they couldn't think of other things to test for.

Your second does not make the same case, but only talk about which american demographics earns the least and which earns the most, at least from what can see.

Do you just google 'page gap' and pick the ones at top, thinking no one will take a look at them?

This is why they claim to be pro-diversity, but have consistently openly or subtly de-aged characters over the past few years. SJW shit is trendy with young people, so they're pandering to the demo who follow that fad. Some of the writers definitely buy into this garbage, but editorial and the money men know its just a temporary passage to more money the same way being gothy used to be.
Fads come and go and following them is why Marvel is still around. It certainly isn't quality writing that's kept them going all these years.

It always annoys me how completely pathetic male villains in feminist media are.

If feminists are really for equality, would it kill them to make a legit scary and menacing villain who doesn't feel like a complete joke?

That would require talent, something they didn't need to get their position thanks to affirmative action.

It makes sense. Some of my friends (we're liberal leaning) brought up the whole Ghostbusters misogyny controversy the other day and some of them piped up saying they're gonna go see it. But to be fair they also thought the Suicide Squad movie looks good, too.

>>83822546
And if by some miracle feminists made it so women start getting paid more, then less women would end up getting hired in favor of cheaper labor in men.
>>
>>83822245
where?
>>
>>83823056
Clearly we must pay everybody the same regardless of the work they provide. Yes that is the solution some british feminists are actually trying to impliment:

If a woman wrote it, she has "internalized misogyny". If a gay or bisexual wrote it, they have "internalized homophobia". If a non-white wrote it, they have "internalized racism".

Liberals are so progressive, they can't stand minorities forming their own opinions or not falling in line with their "progressive" agenda.

It makes sense when you realise feminnist are not about fighting sexism, but fighting for women exsluively.

Still don't really get why this page triggers people so hard. Yeah, it's a little "woe is me" but it's also from the perspective of a child. She later even says that she was wrong about thinking she can't be a hero because she's not a man. She becomes one, after all.

Sales ARE going down.

Sales have been going down since forever

The blatant SJW books also sell like shit.

Marvel pretty evidently doesn't care as long as the critics continue to tongue their balls.

>>83823395
Let's see.

She's a retard. She tries wacky ways to get super powers. Not sure how a child gets tons of x-rays, maybe injuring herself on purpose tons? Letting spiders bite her. Bringing her laser helmet to Home Economics. Calling Oscorp about experimental trials.

She then realizes all *HER* heroes were men. Despite there being plenty of female heroes. And her age being wrong, as Mockingbird wouldn't have been a child when Cyclops was doing his thing.

And the "I was obsessed with...", you should really read the next page.

>>83823441
Yes. I mean, I realize I'm in the wrong thread for this, but that's not that much of an inflammatory statement to me, either. Racism and sexism aren't completely over and most likely never will be.

>>83823482
Yeah, she's a kid. Do kids never tie a cape around their back and jump off something hoping they can fly? All this says is that she was totally immersed in narratives of people becoming special and wanted to be special, too. That's not weird for a kid or teen, at all, especially not in a world where this frequently happens.
Yeah, all her heroes were men. I guess it implies that the heroes she saw on TV and the news were mostly men, which might not be true, but still, it's her perspective. At best, it implies that male heroes get more attention than female heroes, which is sometimes true, like with the MCU.
And I read the full issue. It's a funny play on expectations, because everyone says she'll say "boys" or "gossip" but then it's math and science. And I knew plenty of math nerd girls in school, so why not?

Honestly, the worst part of this issue isn't even the two pages that get posted the most frequently. It's the fact that, in an issue about how hard it is to be a girl, three men get horrifically murdered by the mutant teenager (that we're supposed to be sympathetic towards? It's somewhat unclear) and nobody cares. Which I guess is actually pretty accurate, but I doubt the writer was thinking of the implications at the time.

I find it offensive for how ham fisted it all is. They should never start a character off with man hating.

You know? if this wasn't a SJW-spewing crap, it could be an interesting concept: the Y-Chromosome being more succeptible to cosmic radiation/mutation/being Hawkeye. I mean, Parasite Eve is all about the mithocondria having some freaky powers.

There was a bit in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction where it was mentioned that women responded better to mutation-inducing gamma rays than men.

Dunno if the same is true in the comics.

Not that many, though. The general public steers clear of this shit. Only hardcore fans buy this shit anymore

They generally keep exact ages vague, which makes sense considering the timeline in comics is generally "don't think about it". Most Marvel heroes are portrayed late 20's/early 30's (Spider-Man, Cyclops, etc.) that have been there since the beginning. Younger heroes tend to stay young unless they have a reason to age them. It's not consistent across all characters, one may age a few years and others may remain young, etc.

A character "getting younger" causes all sorts of problems with this. Mockingbird was introduced as a character in 1971. She's been a member of several Avengers teams. She's died and come back. She has a long history. So what exactly of her backstory still is there if she's suddenly younger?

Hellcat is worse as they threw away even more of her history. And for what purpose? It doesn't make a better character to clean their slate, it just makes things confusing.

He just wants power, and at least from the author's perspective is taking advantage of a lot of discontented people to propel himself into power.
