I'm surprised that you had that experience today. When I was growing up in the '80s and going to comic book stores, it was extremely rare to see female fans. I know some of the more socially inept or obnoxious clerks were unwelcoming. But these days I see young females buying comics and manga often. At Lone Star Comics in Dallas the store's products and clientele are way more inclusive than they were back in the day, and some of the workers I've met are female.

Dealing with other people's gender expectations are a pain in the ass. I was a stay-at-home dad for a while, and I got to experience some of what you were experiencing from stay-at-home moms and some working males.
