Wuzzums Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Below are just a few examples of DC covers rank with objectification which do nothing but alienate the male readership: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaVinci Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 A lot of women just don't like the idea of a man drawing "sexualized" images of a woman. I think they feel like they are being violated by proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This has me thinking that the sexualized version of a male is somewhat different than that of a female. Large muscles for instance is a trait which is primarily sexualized in context to men. Torso placement seems to have quite a role in it, which can be demonstrated by men who thrust their crotch into full view when approaching women. Wealth and status also seem to be very sexualized in context to men, as can be seen in: ads, most popular music, and television. This may be something I have to do to more thinking, but at the moment, it seems to me that the sexualization in western media manifests itself in different manners. Trying to take the sexual characterizations of one gender and apply them to the other gender is likely to appear strange as muscles on a woman tends not to be seen as attractive. I don't mean to say that "this or that ought to be sexual in regards to gender x", rather that "a large population finds x sexual in regard to this gender". Though sexual traits do not need be mutually exclusive, they may trend towards this to provide differentiation. Also, the population need not appeal sexually to the population, rather the population just needs to label a trait as sexually attractive. This is the difference between a man who believes that large muscles are attractive to women, vs a man who finds muscular men attractive. It is the difference between a woman who believes that makeup is attractive to men, vs a woman who finds women with makeup sexually appealing.

Ach, feminists ain't hypocrits, they are just selective about the part of reality they accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysterionMuffles Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 yes because the way men are drawn in comic books has nothing to do with lowering the self esteem of the pencil necked geeks who read them. I've seen this phenomenon. Very interesting. Where they redraw female like poses for male characters, but look at the way males are built in comic book heroes. C'mon!

nathanm Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I know I want MY body to look like a pile of uncooked chicken breasts. Unfortunately this means working out. Instead I was hoping for something more supernatural, or perhaps an industrial accident of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
