Spider-Woman's Big Ass is a Big Deal!

153. My opinion is...

that women are over-sexualized. This creates the problem of a woman not feeling free to be herself, and constantly having to be acutely aware of her body posture, and pretty much feel quite awkward. In all honesty, a woman has a right to be in any position she desires, and to not feel demonized/blamed for other people sexualizing it. By regulating which positions a woman can be portrayed in that are "acceptable", it is actually breeding more sexual hostility toward women. So, I kind of see people who have a problem with this to be quite sexist in a way.

Yes, men and women's bodies are shaped differently. That is a fact. Spider man is built like no natural human being, and neither is Spider woman. In this case, I find there isn't really any discrimination happening. I happen to see standards set toward both sexes which are equally unattainable.

I like how he pointed out if Spider woman would have been drawn with her legs open like Spider man in that one image, that there would've been a huge uproar. I agree there would've been an uproar, but I disagree with the base premise of an uproar that would occur. Part of the reason women are over-sexualized is because they are taught that only certain postures and ways of carrying their bodies are "acceptable". This causes otherwise natural poses to be construed as unnatural, taboo, or even sexual.

To me, Spider woman looks like she's too focused on doing her own thing to care if someone is trying to check out her ass. That's the way it should be.

Now, how many men have felt uncomfortable bending over to pick something up?

I have a feeling much more women feel much more uncomfortable bending over to pick something up.

It's because the male is taught to pick up the object, and the female is taught how to "act" while she picks up the object.
Why? It's not her fault that people are being overly-sexual. It's the person who is over-sexualizing her that is at fault. It is society who is at fault for constantly ingraining into people that a woman bending over always equals sexual innuendo.

Overall, I think women would be better off just not giving a rat's ass about what other people think of them. I know this world is not attacker free, sexual deviant free, or pervert free... but why should women ever change their behavior to suit the desires of someone else? That in itself is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe if we all cut the crap, and just accepted people for who they are without intense judgement: we wouldn't have to deal with ridiculousness like this.

I look forward to the day when nude people can be on the cover of a magazines and there isn't an uproar about it being "sexual".
Nudity is natural, and not always sexual. Even if it is sexual, it's not really such a bad thing... Society is warped and the only unnatural thing about any of this.
