Women are not being objectified in comic books even though they are portrayed in a sexual manner. Women wearing tight clothes and have large breasts, small waists and perfect hair are as un realistic as the super powers they posses. Women being dressed and proportioned the way they are in comics are to attract young randy teenagers, not to objectify and make them seem inferior to men, but to tantalize young adolescents with large breasts into buying the comic. Some people may take these comic drawing as offence to women, when they are merely an artist's creativity drawn on paper.
I feel that women are not being objectified in comics because comics are not real and are simply the imagination of a talented or un-talented comic book writer. They are not meant to be taken as seriously as some people do because they are fake. Where in real life does some one become a huge monster and turn green when they are angry? Can anyone shoot spider webs from thier wrists and walk up walls? Never, because all of these ideas and characters are not meant to be real, even though they may appear to be to some people. If we do not take a person flying or turning invisible so serioulsy, then there is no reason for us to take scantily dressed, clevage exposing, partially nude women so seriously.
The picture on the top right is an example of how un real comics are. The man in the picture is incredibly muscular which is very unreal. There is a huge monster in the picture which is fake as well, just an image from someones imagination drawn on paper. The woman is dressed very revealingly with un real proportions and she is supposed to be a super heroine and it is impossible to do the stunts and antics that super heroines do with the costume she is wearing. Most things in comics are exagerrated and people should understand that the women's proportions are exaggerated as well and that women do not have to compare themselves to comics because they are un real. Almost anything is possible in a comic book, many impossible things are portrayed in comics and they should not be taken so seriously. They should not be labelled saying that they are portaying women as 'inferior' because in my opinion it is not true.
