Hmm, Feminists never seem to complain about male bodies which I always find amusing. Even if I go to rhe gym everyday I will never have a body like Steve Rogers or Kal-El. Do Women want a skinny Superman or a overweight Superman 😅. Nightwing is a very s@#ualused character but feminists never complain about it. I usually view this as selective outrage. I am a fan of science fiction in general (mostly novels) and comics are just a part of that. I watched the movie I ROBOT with Will Smith. I don't remember hearing a single woman complaining about the character Susan Calvin. In the book she is average looking. Not very pretty . It is her understanding of robotics that make her amazing. In the movie she looks like a supermodel. Who's fault is that? Where was the outrage? I work in a school and whenever there is a fire drill and the Firemen (people) turn up the women swoon over them. The "female " gaze."😅. Look I understand that we don't want to relegate women into objects. Men in general like to look at a nicely shaped female form and there isn't anything wrong with that. Most people buy comics because they like the characters or stories. There is a lot of hypocrisy in these debates.
@@afroscifizianzcomix7836 There is an element of objectification especially since the characters aren't "real" so there is that detachment and also some of the characters comics over the years sell just because of them being eye candy, but I do agree that for the most part the General audience doesn't really care and are just there for the storylines.
@@AfricanReadsComics When you focus only on One Side of this that is a Form of Misandry. Men can Be and Are "objectified" in Comics as Much as women. Same with Movies. Feminism is a Shell of what it used to be, Riding on the Back of First and Second wave Feminism. I REMEBER Gloria Steinem and Angela Davis. They got Women Equal Pay and other Equal rights that First wave feminism Couldn't get at the time. That's why this movement is not being taken as Seriously as it used to be. Have a nice Day.
