(58,283 posts)Are you actually suggesting that objecting to degrading portrayals of women will result in "actually breeding more sexual hostility toward women"? Why?
Ignoring degrading portrayals of women by men will not make it go away.
This is a standard porn anal penetration shot. Milo Manara copied it from another poster he did, in which he has also creepily added voyeurs ogling her splayed butt cheeks.

Hey, if that is what some men like to look at while fapping, that is their business. But I am talking about how a female superhero is portrayed in a comic book sold to 13 year olds, 47% of whom are female, according to the video's narrator.
Why can't she be shown strong, like Spiderman? Why is her body thin and not muscular? Why is she swaybacked and her butt cheeks spread to the sky? She cannot do anything in that position but be penetrated. What kind of message does this send? I am not objecting to nudity or sex, I am objecting to a depiction that devalues women.
This is not the same pose as the Spiderman. He is crawling like a spider. His thighs are even with his butt. His butt is not turned up. He is not swaybacked. His head is not down. He looks powerful. She looks like a porn star, not a superhero. It is not "sexist" to point that out.
