Yeah, if her argument had been something like, "I find this phrase reduces feminine sexuality to reproduction and I find that offensive," I actually would have agreed with that. (While at the same time, acknowledging that I use it because I do appreciate the effort to find phrases that incorporate a feminine gendered sexual response.)
I couldn't tell what bothered me more and still can't - the number of female comic creators I know who were instantly 'that's RIGHT, you tell 'em!' or the general idea that someone who became a rising indie comics star through LJ doesn't apparently know LJ (and consequently, female fandom). Does it bother me more that she said it and you'd think she would know better, or that so many other women-in-comics followed suit?
