May 24, 2012 8:45 pm So people just stopped at the first half of the comment. I didn't say it was demeaning to women in fact I said it seemed like nothing but fun. The question I raised was that this very writer railed against gender politics in comics by accusing marvel of selling women short by producing a comic that depicted women enjoying makeup and being socialites but this bit of fashion and dress up is ok. To me the interesting part is that both articles are from the same person. I thought the last post was a strong over reaction to nothing more than a product commercial that appeals to a very real demographic- regardless of anyone's feelings about that segment. I think this one is neat. That's the point.

May 24, 2012 12:27 pm Wait- so b/c this is "cutesy" This is ok and not demeaning to strong women? Putting Ms. Marvel in baby doll dress is ok if it's adorable? And for the record I think this is just a bit of fun- but I think the message of this poster is confusing in light of other recent articles on the whole. I think it's time we all admit that gender politics are fluid- confusing and changing and no one "knows" what is exactly right.
