THE WALKING DEAD Creator: Women Are ‘Generally Physically Weaker. That’s Science’
If you've ever had an issue with some of the women's characters on AMC's THE WALKING DEAD — the root of the problem might be in the source material. Robert Kirkman, the creator of the comics, definitely has some... issues... with women.

Village Voice reports Kirkman told him in an interview for
The Comics Journal four years ago:
"I don't mean to sound sexist, but as far as women have come over the last 40 years, you don't really see a lot of women hunters. They're still in the minority in the military, and there's not a lot of female construction workers. I hope that's not taken the wrong way. I think women are as smart, resourceful, and capable in most things as any man could be … but they are generally physically weaker. That's science."

Riegel described the show’s revival as “kinda surreal. Everyone was shocked when it was pulled off the air. You don’t expect people who are part of your life to disappear. Bianca is an important part of my life.”
