Examples please.

Seconded. I don't know much about his work but I wanted some examples/explanation, too.

Thirded. I'm only familiar with a few of his stuff but I never personally noticed anything particularly sexist in what I have seen or read.

I mean, the more I think about it, the more disturbing the "captive romance" in Stardust gets.

hm. I've read that but it's been a long time so I don't remember the details. I remember being a little bothered by how the main character was conceived, but that's about it. I'm guessing it has something to do with the star girl? Her leg's broken, right? Is it because she has to depend on the protagonist so much?

I'm a fan, but I am also curious for examples. I am concerned that I might have missed something! Thanks!

He does a lot of that girl-as-status-quo thing. It's been a while since I read it, but in Neverwhere, isn't there a part where the main guy sees the one magic girl hurt and bleeding on the sidewalk, and his normal-girl girlfriend is all, "If you help that clearly injured person I will leave you"?

I'm not into Gaiman's novels all that much, so I have to give an example from his television work:

Doctor Who, The Silver Nightmare (written by Gaiman).

We're introduced to two kid characters, siblings. The boy is a precious, highly intelligent treasure, kind of nerdy.

The girl is a constantly moaning, screeching teenager bitch who picks on her little brother.

Both are clichés but the boy is a positive cliché while the girl will make you ashamed for your sex.

Sorry, but you have to blame those on Steven Moffat. it is the law. Any and all failings in Doctor Who over the last five decades must be blamed on Moffat and never anyone else.

Plus those kids were as annoying as fuck, but they were spot on reflections of 99% of kids out there right now. Their shallowness was a sign of their authenticity.

I hope you're trolling.
