All I know is that I've done hand to hand combat training with female troops who would bust a MFs ass, tits and all...and one of my colleagues in New York was the lead instructor at the Air Assault Course, where they teach us lunkheads how to rappel from a helicopter and down the side of cliffs and shit...and if I remember correctly, she looked pretty well stacked when she was in civvies....

Yeah, but was she fighting and rapelling with magically gravity-defying, solid-as-rock, mostly exposed, be-spandexed titties? Or did she have her sweater puppies safely contained in a bra and practical clothes? That would make quite a lot of difference in how much success she had.



falloff i could never watch 'Xena: warrior princess" because who in their right mind goes into battle wearing only a skin-exposing bustier and shorts?

real warriors do not wear bikins into battle. i think we all know this. at least, i hope we all know this... confused

None of the real warriors I've worked with and seen over in Iraq, Israel, and Bosnia don't...they take their abilities AND their craft very seriously...and I can honestly say that none of them has been significantly hindered by their "assets", so to speak....

"A COMPLAINT ABOUT MEN'S PORTRAYAL IN COMIC BOOKS"

They have super powers.

They fly. They lift gigantic things.

They get to shoot laser beams out of their eyeballs.

They all have muscles upon muscles. They rarely have male-pattern baldness.

It's not fair!!!

It's almost like it's make believe!!! bawl

Point taken, and agreed, but it's not a fair comparison. Male comic characters are not sexualized the way the females are, and that's what she's talkin' bout here.



The musculature and power are examples of men being sexualized. What every man wants to have to get women and certainly men's idea of what women want in a man.(yes, there's more but these are U.S. comic books.)
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.
