Seems pretty sexist to me.

Of course you love the idea of a "no-boys-allowed night," you're a nutless mangina who feels it's his duty to coddle women's sense of self-entitlement.

By the way tonight is Lady's Night at Pony.

Time to bust out the wig!

I'm a dude* and I don't think this is a terrible idea. Evidently someone at comics dungeon thought this was necessary**; possibly as a lure to get women who like reading comics but find the whole scene intimidating***.

*though I guess only a casual comics fan.
**or saw a market.
***not implying that all women do, or that the scene is horrible and sexist.

i feel like . . . we female comix fans aren't really that wily and elusive, here in the year 2010. fully half of my lady-friends consume comics, and a bunch of them draw comics as well. gasp.

yeah, don't know how empowering this is. it's very close to hosting a regular-word-book-without-pictures event with no boys allowed. but thanks?

Actually, Chris (a guy on staff) noticed they had a lot of female customers, plus they have at least one chick on staff, so he suggested they do a ladies night. Glad to see it getting some attention - they're an awesome store!

Ladies Beware: This sounds like a trap.

As a lady who is marginally interested in comics, but not at all interested in some of the experiences I've had in comics stores (my eyes are up here -- though yes, there's writing on my t-shirt, it says BAND NAME and does not take that long to read), I think this is terrific.

Maybe it'll draw in a few of those of us on the fence, who will then find the scene is not of necessity as annoying as it definitely has the potential to be.

Yeah, I stopped hanging out with nerds and geeks because I was tired of being dehumanized. There's no reason *not* to have a ladies' night.

This is awesome. Being a woman in nerd-town can be exhausting. It's nice to have a safe place to talk and meet now and then.
