Women Are Wiser/Quotes

""The funnest thing about writing this episode was having the GUYS be the wet blankets trying to be the voice of reason, in the face of the completely unstoppable Black Canary and Huntress. It’s always, ALWAYS the other way around, the guys do all the fun, exciting business while the women roll their eyes and try to keep a leash on...Usually, the guys are the cocky, driven action heroes and the women are the wet blankets trying to keep up.""

- Gail Simone discussing Batman the Brave And The Bold on her tumblr.

""There's this whole subtext behind the "women are smarter" argument that smacks of the stereotype that women are everyone's mother. As in, you (a male) want to just watch the game and goof off, but your girlfriend or wife is nagging you to clean up (like your mom used to nag you to clean your room). This argument says it's woman's natural place to be the "responsible adult" in the relationship while the men get to go off and act like idiots. Women get all the fun of cleaning up after the men, or all the fun of nagging the men to pick up after themselves. Women's place is to be the stick in the mud, the killjoy, the one who sets limits and enforces them.""
