How much does Matthew Sturges value his own words?
A couple days ago, Sturges, a co-writer of Jack of Fables for the Vertigo line, said:
Having read this, I'd like to know if Sturges, as a guy who's written a few books for DC, has any faith in his words. His record includes books like the new diverse Blue Beetle, which featured a few ideas drawing from Identity Crisis, and also Shadowpact, which may have done the same too. I don't know if he actually injected or employed any of those ideas himself, but if he did, then how does he expect his statement to hold water, unless he can prove he's changed?
It's terrible anybody has to experience sexism, but if Sturges really wants to help curb it, then he's got to avoid working on projects that contain it.
If you're tired of listening to women complain about sexism, think how tired those women must be of experiencing it. "Very," I would guess.
