The Deceptive Ways of Comic Books

Comic books are defined as magazines that are filled with cartoons that show what the person speaks or thinks. A supehero is defined as a "superhuman character" who has great powers to fight crime or evil. Nowhere in these definitions does it include that heroines are supposed to be sexual, volumptuous characters that use their powers to fight crime. However, in comic books, heroines have started to be stripped of the clothing that once covered them in good form, and have started to include impractical proportions. These heroines have truly become "adolescent sex fantasies" and have provided as examples of idealistic women, and nothing more. Women have been drawn with big busts that are not balanced at all with the body drawn. The stomach is drawn absolutely flat, and the costume that heroine's wear are very revealing.
Comic books are supposed to be a source of entertainment, not a source of sensual pleasure. They are meant to be read for the story and not for indulgences. At it's peak, comic books were once only bought and high praised for its great story and characters. Now many adolescents go out to buy comic books to scrutinize the heroines that have been drawn in such implausible and unlikely manners. Comic books are being deprived in a way where only how the characters look matters. There is no attention paid to the story, and in many cases comic books have great stories. Because the bust is made so big and the stomach so small, it draws people's eyes to that area. In reality, it is not possible for women to look like this which makes it harder for women to look as "good" as the heroines in the comic books. Not only this, but they are criticized for not being able to look like any of the women in comic books.
Sexism has become a problem in comic books. What is the need to draw women in misleading ways if women can be portrayed in a better sense? The idea of heroines in comic books is supposed to show that women are equal and can be just as powerful as men. While comic books do not neccessarily make women seem partial to men, they give rise to the idea that women are only intended to be sources of sexuality, and nothing more. In this case, women do seem inferior to men since they only are in comic books for one purpose which is to provide sexual pleasure. Comics don't require any sort of women that look erotic to be read--they just need a good storyline. They're a deceptive source of what women should look like, and adolescent boys should not have to be exposed to such sources. Adolescents should be able to have the privilige of reading comic books, and as a result, the woman image depicted in comics needs to be changed.
