Should Comic Vine have a female writer on staff?
I kept waiting for reviews from Jen since she covered a lot of the indie stuff but I've noticed other Comic Vine staff step up in that regard in the past while, so that's good. I don't know if she's on staff any more, but that was the main reason for me following what she contributed to the site. She didn't particularly have a perspective which could be construed as female bent, though. I would be interested in that, for sure.
I would applaud the move as I would any initiative to improve visibility of under represented groups in any medium.
if females want to be writers on the site that awesome but don't go out and hire them JUST because of their gender hire them because they are good writers.
Guys calm down. I think the best person for the job should get it and if it's a woman, then so be it. These things should happen spontaneously.
@jestersmiles: There are definitely good female comic commentators out there. A lot of other high profile sites have at least one.
