167. I do. The difference is that these here are not "women." I've read much on the artists, and they

are geeky types whose body image philosophies match their superhero characters' total power depictions. I've had to listen to kids' reactions to my questions about about these images, and have learned that they don't see them through our lenses about typical male/female objectification politics; rather, they're interested in the story lines and overall artistry of cells and story details. You could claim that they're being lulled into sexist roles, but from how I've read the comic plots and seen kids talk about them, I don't get that.

I learned to read comics their way and stopped seeing them as an adult. What you call objectification poses I now see as power poses. It's more about fighting evil forces with powerful bodies than it is about sexuality.
