A lot of that has to do with the simplification of entertainment success in the webcomic realm down to a gender issue. Perhaps we can create a community/society where two people starting at the exact same time with the exact same artistic and storytelling abilities can create webcomics of equal success irregardless of other factors, but Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30846148.post-1152579337790773712006-07-10T20:55:00.000-04:002006-07-10T20:55:00.000-04:00You know, researchers recently did an experiment.....You know, researchers recently did an experiment... can't find the link, but they set a gameboy in the middle of a girl's class room.

Less women than men want to do it in the first place, for whatever reasons. But I'd like to move past that excuse, because it's less and less likely to explain even MOST of the problem away.
