Comic Book Heroines: Sex, Violence and Objectification

rougy says...

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.
