Breaking news! Father takes 7-year old daughter to a comic shop for older, male audiences. Daughter is offended! Misogyny, etc! Males are creeps! Sexualizing women in comics is offensive to women and therefore immoral! It's not like women can choose not to read such comics. It is a sign that you live a life of highest quality if you can worry about sexualization in fictional comics.



...so you didn't read the article. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce that.


I read it word for word. That is pretty much what he wants to communicate.


Just because your eyes passed over the letters doesn't mean you read it. You went in with preconceived notions of what it was going to say and you came out without those preconceptions changed. Reading requires that you actually spend time trying to understand what someone is saying.

I admit it's not entirely clear what the author's point is, but that doesn't mean you get to fill in your own and pretend like the author said it.

I'm pretty skeptical of a lot of feminism, but there's nothing particularly outrageous being said here.
