The 8 Stupidest Defenses Against Accusations of Sexism
A while back I wrote an article on the most hilariously sexist superhero costumes, because most comics are to blatant sexism what printing and distributing pictures of powerful women forced to prance and flex around in fishnets and ass-cracking thongs for immature men are to blatant sexism: exactly the same thing.
Black Canary causes intense pain when she opens her mouth, and dresses like a Playboy bunny on a smoke break. And is still one of the less sexist superheroes.
My analysis of Ridiculously Sexist Costumes triggered a tidal wave of Even Stupider Comments, and wow was that fun to write. I think I cut two more articles worth of material from that piece because the idiots were so easy to mock, but so urgently stupid that only the most sharpened mockery would do.

On me being gay
They think that you can either allow women equal rights or sleep with them, because in their experience women will use every advantage they have to not do that.
On virgins
I never assume that comics nerds are lonely virgins who’d require divine intervention to get laid, but when someone’s calling me a homosexual through an internet comment about Powergirl’s titwindow I’ll Assume that harder than the Virgin Mary.
On Amanda Waller
She’s a person of color, of size, and of-aries, all disadvantages as far as mainstream comics are concerned.
On myself
I am not a politically correct man. I’ve watched more videos of more nationalities of women wrestling than an Olympic coach, with far more intensity. But of course I want want equal treatment for all, because obviously, and because life and genitals are far more fun when everyone is allowed their own ideas about what to do with them.
