I disagree about the reasons for the pro-female bias evident in some modern
comics.  I don't think it has anything to do with sales; in the New Mutants,
for instance, only Amara is played up for cheesecake value.  It is just the
unavoidable consequence of pro-male sexism.  These things always create an
equal and opposite reaction.
