The only reason this debate got heated at all was
because my evil side took exception to Shura's
comment about women and shopping.  *grin*  It had
nothing to do with you or your post whatsoever --
to be honest, I loved seeing your original
question, because a group of us (all girls) were
discussing cel prices just a couple of weeks ago
and lamenting about all the guy characters we like
being way more expensive than the females from the
same series.  ^_^  So your post was both a reality
check and a catalyst for me to give it some actual
thought and realize what the probable reasons were
behind both our perspectives.

No apologies needed from you, nor will any be
accepted.  Keep posting your thoughts!
