Wow...Dave Sim is an idiot...

"It was really the first time in my adult life that I spoke to women who I found physically unattractive and the first time I spoke to women with any motive besides getting them into bed. In the case of the attractive women that I interviewed, it was a guarantee that I was not going to get them into bed - "mothers and daughters," as subject, existing at the opposite end of the conversational spectrum from those topics which lead to sex - and (knowing that) for the first time in my adult life the intellectual, reasoning, "writerly" part of my mind was engaged when talking to women."

Perhaps. So what? That fact certainly isn't mentioned in the essay, which is floating around out there being read. I may have some sympathy for the guy's condition but that doesn't make his writing any less stupidly misogynist.

"Well reasoned, my friend, well reasoned." is, well, ironic rather than sarcastic in the context that he's crazy; obviously his logic is... bad.

I won't even go into the fact that this is some of his less misogynistic writing after the psychotic break.
