Obviously it's a great idea to highlight how sexist the superhero/comic book community is, and I think this is a really clever way to show it. Sometimes you'll see a superheroine in an outfit that is more conservative, but it just looks off or weird, like it doesn't fit (maybe I'm just brainwashed from years of comics). I think that to show men behaving in a feminine way better exemplifies the problem.Showing a woman in a functional costume? Duh, women want to be like men and save the day. But to show a guy posed and with clothing like the girls are posed and are wearing? The clothes suddenly look ridiculous and the poses are now uncomfortable. What do you guys think?
