according to gail, Marvel not a good place for aspiring female writers

The thing is, women sexualize men differently than men sexualize women. Women do look at guys butts, and their "packages". They just do it in a more subtle way than men.

And also, a lot of women like things to be left to the imagination more than guys who want "immediate gratification".

A provocative, NAUGHTY teenage girl who tells her parental figures off all the time.

I mean, I wouldn't know.

This begs the question: should superhero comics featuring famous characters be concerned with sexually pandering to either gender? I say no, but I harbor the secret, futile hope that one day the genre might open up to kids again. Since Marvel and DC have largely given up that fight, outside their movies and cartoons, maybe it shouldn't be a constraint. Maybe it IS time for superhero comics to move into the GIRLS GONE WILD and yaoi phase of explicit titillation.

And yet you're the only person who yells about it.

Yes, at this point, especially after meeting him in person, Tibbittz is less creepy than Ray. Much, much less.

Ray -

It's OK to admit that the current Supergirl is a T&A wet dream, and was intended to be as such by the writers and artists. It doesn't make her a bad character, or the comic a bad comic.
