Do you ever get a chance to look at the material aimed at women and
girls, the shoujo manga? Or the material written/drawn by women but not
necessarily aimed at a female audience? True, these types of stories may
not be your cup of tea either. But the last thing these stories are is
sexist, the women wear short skirts only if they'd do so in real life,
and you don't normally see gratuitous nudity.

Again, I'm not trying to tell you what to read or what to like. But it
really doesn't surprise me that this is the only segment of manga you'd
see if that is the only audience you're observing.
