Supergirls author Mike Madrid describes the hyper-sexualization of comic book heroines. Madrid claims the trend began in the 1990s and often blurs the line between mainstream and adult entertainment.

What and males arn't objectified in commics? (Muscles and all), There isn't a male super hero out there I measure up to, And I don't complain or take offence!
That's the point though isn't it. Fantasy..., It's called escapeism.

Superman has guns pointed at him too and Batman always gets kicked in the face!

And... Of course cartoons and hand drawn images can wear tose clothes without effort, but that's because they are "NOT REAL" - No one expects real people to wear this stuff while fighting crime.

Sorry , but these kinds of critiques on comic book characters really burns me.
Guys have skimpy costumes too - but they don't point that out...
Hawkman - doesn't wear a shirt, you can see his nipples
Hulk - almost Naked
Beast - Naked
Iceman - Naked
Weapon X - Almost Naked
Mojo - Naked (but gross)

It's not just the women - I hate when it becomes a sexist issue - It's a fantasy situation where people are above average and these are the fantasy bodies...

Oh, and that's not the White Queen's normal attire - so it shouldn't be used as an example of a costume.
Also, Comics are predominantly read by pre-adolescent males with overloaded hormones (and some females with the same). Let them fanaticize! Geeze!

Really insightful. Would never have thought about this, otherwise. Good sift!

I mean no offense, but I do think this is kind of over-reaching.

This is almost saying that until the 1990s and the purported age of the 'super model' women did not use their sexual allures to their own advantage.

I think that the 'super model' preceded the 1990s by at least three decades that I can think of--Twiggy in the 1960s and to a lesser extent Edie Sedgwick, who was basically blackballed from the business due to her wild lifestyle.

And, as was noted above, this is fantasy, and we can push the envelope of fantasy much farther now than we could back in the 1950s, so a lot of this is an example of cultural evolution rather than newfound methods of exploitation.

I mean...say that the women weren't dressed sexily, then someone could make the argument that they're being unfairly suppressed and not allowed to express themselves to their full extent due to an oppressive, misogynistic culture.
