I don't play video games; I have poor eye-hand coordination and don't have the time/patience to play them. But there is misogyny in the geek world and I blame 1) all-around poor social skills, 2) a culture that caters to horny guys with poor social skills, and 3) a desire to keep gaming or comics or whatever a virtual man cave. No wimmin or kidz allowed! I've never had someone demand a photo of me or say something like "iron my shirt" but I can recall being ignored at comics/trading card shows (I'm interested in that stuff?) and I can recall going ballistic at the zillionth media insistence that women don't like Star Wars.

Back in the '90s there was a trend of doing "alternate" covers of various comics featuring centerfolds, porn actresses, etc. posing in whatever skimpy costume. At one point, there were nude shots (tastefully hidden behind the counter of course). It was ridiculous. The only stuff I read then were not superhero comics: Sandman, various Star Wars titles, Anne Rice adaptations, etc.. The strip you posted is right: the superhero represents an idealization for the male fan, not eye candy for the ladies. The only ones who find superhero dudes hot are gay men and they are drawn to both the physique AND power. It's telling the kind of guys fangirls find attractive as opposed to what's in most comics and games.
