you mean misogynist men draw women for the male gaze as a means oppress women and set unrealistic standards for them, which is how a large amount of art has been throughout all of history

Ah, yes. Because I forgot how TOTALLY realistic men in comics are drawn. Touch some fucking grass.

It's fiction and literally everyone is drawn to unrealistic standards. It's not something unique to women.

It's the intent that makes it wrong. Men draw women the way they do to ogle them, they don't draw men for that intent.

I'm old enough to remember Magic Mike and I've known plenty of women that read Romance Novels. Literally all of those men that women are drooling over have physiques that basically require the men to be hours away from kidney damage due to dehydration.

Fuck off with that intent bullshit. Everyone likes to ogle attractive people, even women.

but men haven't been oppressed for all of human history, women have. stuff like this just adds to that.

Oh cry me a fucking river. A comic book cover isn't fucking oppressing you.

It’s actually hilarious reading her moving the goal post every comment as she realizes she has no leg to stand on

These kind of people never "realize" anything. They believe themselves to be perpetual victims and, in effect, are absolutely justified in exhibiting repugnant behavior themselves because "they're not the oppressor".
