I do not think that because women in comic books are wearing tight clothing and have the "ideal" body show viewers that women are inferior to men and deserve a secondary status. However, I do agree that the drawings of women show a sexual image towards adolescent boys and make the girls think that the images are what they themselves are supposed to look like.
In my opinion, although the women are very busty and wear very revealing clothes, they all are very strong and still fight against criminals and law breakers. Often some of the women are criminals too, but they still fight and are very strong which does not show that they are inferior to men as the criminals seem to be mostly men. I believe that these comics give women a way to see themselves as strong and independent. Having these women in comics, drawn with muscular bodies’ show that women can fight too, they can stop enemies and have superpowers like any other “superman,” which is not usually the case in now day movies and books. I think that these women in comics show that a girl can play any “boy’s” game they wanted and play it even better than the boys themselves.
Although I believe that the women’s roles in the comics books are better than in real life, I think that it is true that the women in these comics look as if they were draw to appeal the minds of young boys and the comic artist that draw them. These drawings make the women look “better” than they would actually look if they were drawn in proportion, but they are not drawn to show that women are strong individuals, they are drawn to show a women as a sex symbol for men.
