I have to admit, regarding CCI 2006's lack so far of female Featured Guests that I did not consider a scenario where a woman guest was invited and hadn't accepted yet*, as Gail Simone (my "doesn't she freaking rate" example) has.*
That doesn't change the fact, though, that CCI historically has few female guests, and NONE AT ALL listed in their first update.

This is what Gail said in response to When Fangirls Attack link to my CCI rantifesto:
"I actually agree with her point, if I understand it correctly. But to be fair, I WAS invited to be a Featured Guest, so I may not be the best example to use in this particular case. But she wouldn't have known that and I think her point is valid regardless."

*Yes, I orginally said declined, because that's how I read Gail's response. My bad.
