I love this. The idea that men are just as objectified as women in comic books is laughable. Kind of like the men’s rights activists who cite the draft as “lady privilege.” Who draws comic books? Who makes the majority of laws? And as the character here points out, men in comic books look like a man’s idea of a perfect man. I don’t know anybody who’s like, “Yeah, I want a super buff guy, like scary inhumanly buff; the idea of pectoral muscles bigger than a flank steak makes my loins frothy.” NOBODY.

To be fair, you can use the same argument that not every guy wants what a girl looks like in comic books. I don’t think that’s generally true, but you can’t prove it wrong.

In addition, I’d like to add “shut the fuck up”. I’m a supporter of women’s rights, but showing women with sexually attractive figures in skimpy clothing is not objectification. The definition of sexual objectification (which is the proper term for this kind of objectification) means to regard another merely as an object of sexual pleasure. To imply that making a comic book woman sexually attractive is to objectify all women, thereby making them objects of sexual pleasure is quite ridiculous. This implies that sexual attractiveness (and/or the showing off of it) is objectifying in itself. If you believe in women’s rights, you should believe in the right for any woman to show her body any way she wants. That being said comics books are usually drawn by men, which brings me to my next point:

NOT ALL GUYS WANT TO BE HUGE BODY BUILDERS. SOME GIRLS WANT TO BE SLIM- WAISTED AND LARGE-BUSTED. YOU ARE MAKING SWEEPING, GENERALIZING STATEMENTS WHICH CONSTITUTES FALSE EQUIVALENCE. THIS IS HYPOCRITICAL.

The tendency of many women to consider themselves victims of objectification is not over dramatic. BUT in context of a fucking comic book, you need to shut up. IF YOU DO NOT WANT MALES TO GENERALIZE ABOUT WOMEN THEN DO NOT GENERALIZE ABOUT MEN.

The attitude of this piece is completely hypocritical, biassed and is propaganda. 

Not every women wants to look like a comic book. Not every man wants a woman who looks like that. Some women DO want a huge bodybuilder guy. This piece clearly uses generalizations to complain about men who generalize and make false statements about women.

The last thing I’ll say is it’s a comic book. Calm the fuck down.
