Unlike us women who are hyper aware of it because it's all around us.<br /><br />I don't think you understand the concept of a static pose, versus what the men are doing, they are not static.<br /><br />Here's the thing fedres? Where does it say Sexy for women requires us to be passive pseudo orgasmic objects like on the Conan cover? Where does it say a woman cannot be active, engaging and sexy? Nowhere, that's where. Why can a woman not be sexy as an active dynamic character? In fact I'd argue an active dynamic woman is more sexy than a draped passive object pretending to be a woman is.Eightdiverginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261746282487709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997883902969364109.post-1885383651067357892012-12-08T14:16:13.598-08:002012-12-08T14:16:13.598-08:00Next time I will proofread, Ugh!Next time I will proofread, Ugh!fedres420https://www.blogger.com/profile/18252769301231921283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997883902969364109.post-24528743600717465792012-12-08T14:15:11.878-08:002012-12-08T14:15:11.878-08:00I think many of these you are waay off base with. ...I think many of these you are waay off base with. Some of them seem to support you argument and I htink you would do better to have just some strong examples rather than ones such as, ohh let's say the next to last one with the FF (Sue Storm and her husband have essentially the same moody stare) or the Star wars one (she is the only female, unless Chewie is female, but the poses of other characters are just as static). I am a fan on Tony's but not blind to this issue as a father of two girls and wanted to see what examples you use and I think some of them support your position very well. But the overload from so many images coupled with the stretches you take to make some fit detracts from the power of your point. Hit them with the big ones and let that stand would be my advice. Having ones where you can argue against your point detracts could lessen perceived validity of the good ones. I mean, some times I was able to tell it would be an image of Conan before I opened it and ANY women in those comics, especially the covers as Tony drew, are meant to be sexy women. If the image calls for a sexy woman Tony will draw it. Emphasize the ones where the woman need not be sexualized (like Ex Machina finger in her mouth woman) and you make a good point.fedres420https://www.blogger.com/profile/18252769301231921283noreply@blogger.com
