1. Gail Simone is a woman. If Mark Millar pulled the "Estrogan" thing, people would say it was sexist (and possibly be right, I don't know). It's basically a different version of the "N-word privileges".
2. Gail has a reputation for being a quirky writer who puts a lot of humor into her comics, and Millar...doesn't. It would seem "off" if he suddenly put the pun in there, IMHO.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
