Women in Comics

Women in comic books are definitely portrayed in extremely fictional ways. They are shown wearing the tightest costumes with the fittest bodies. In reality, every woman is not like this. In my opinion, these comic books do have some sort of impact on teenagers' minds influencing them on what women are, or should be like. I don't think it's fair towards women at all because by seeing all of these characters in comics, people have higher expectations of what a woman should look like.
The ways women are portrayed in comics have an influence on how people treat, and see them in real life as well. Men might think its okay to judge and compare how a woman in real life looks like compared to a woman in a comic book, but it's definitely not. How these women are shown in comics has definitely had an influence on the whole idea of men being superior to women. These women are shown as objects, shown off, and vulnerable. Women need to get credit for them being much stronger than that.
Since boys aren't the only ones that do read those comics, there are teenage girls that get affected by them too; affected in a negative way. When these girls see how women are portrayed in comics it makes them think that that's how they should look like to be considered "pretty." However, I don't think this is true as the women portrayed in comics are ideally fictional. Personally, I think comics should be bought for whole other reasons than why or what they're actually bought for at present times.
