      Its my favorite fact that absolutely no woman has ever fantasized about the hyper muscular super hero bods.

      And in fact, I had no idea this comic artist was a man until this moment lol

        I agree with the sentiment but “Absolutely no woman has ever fantasized” about that?

        Do you really believe that? If not, why use these words? I don’t think it serves your purpose and it’s too bad.

        Don’t hate me please. I’m just talking semantics which are important to me

            So did you! Pretty sure you’re right about the artist being a dude for the reason you mentioned.
            Thanks for giving my point a thought.

              On the other hand, women’s media is also full of that stuff. Maybe not Schwarzenegger style extreme bodybuilding, but look at a women’s magazine or the covers of romantic fiction books made for women. Both men and women in these types of media are overly fit and overly sexualized too.

              I don’t think it’s specifically a gendered thing that there are people who like to look at that kind of stuff and people who reject it.
