I really believe/hope this is changing.
New research suggests nearly half of comic fans are women and girls, and the industry as a whole has made much more effort to embrace and foster diversity recently. Women and girls have always liked this stuff, obviously, but it seems like the PTB are starting to realize that they can't ignore nearly half of their potential readership anymore if they want to survive.
Marvel's got a pretty decent track record of this lately, and even DC is starting to play catch-up: the New 52 was almost entirely aimed at that "badass dudes and hot chicks" teen-boy mindset/demographic, but the "Divergence" announcements last week make it look like they're making a real effort to change course.
