dcwomenkickingass:
My pal Kelly Thompson has written a kick ass article, “No, it’s not equal” on the different ways that men and women are depicted in comics. Here’s a taste:
I think it’s a big problem that extends far beyond comics and like other media, it really affects the way people view women, and how women, especially young women, view themselves. I don’t think “it’s just comics” and...
