Nagging Moms: The Amazons in Justice League Edition

Wouldn't the most feminist thing be to let women choose wtf they want to wear? If the actress says she likes the one piece let her cook, and if she wants the two piece give her the two piece.

Pretty sure that's not how movies work.

Right. But movies are also super oppositional to feminist thinking. If a director says "ay lead actress, you're gonna do a sex scene" she has no say in the matter. Which is exactly my point: if these critics really wanted to promote feminism, then they would be in favour of these women choosing what they wear, not trying to decide what they ought to wear.

A legitimate feminist position would be objecting to these women being FORCED into wearing that costume.

If one of the actresses said she didn't want to or felt pressured into it then they would have an argument but none of them said that.

Of course not, same reason all these people are just now speaking up about the shit going on in Hollywood and DC..they scared to be blackballed.

They are athletes, not actresses. They're only in the movie because it calls for their body type. They lose nothing but a role by standing up for themselves.

Again with the infantilizing. Dave Chappelle said he wouldn't wear a dress, he put his foot down on it knowing it could ruin his career and he did it anyway.

If women are equals, they should be expected to do the same.

Plenty of women have had things they didn't feel comfortable with changed, specifically nude or sex scenes. So a change in wardrobe is hardly a major issue.

I always find the "skimpy clothing" whining from feminists to be funny. Have these chicks ever been to the South? They act like there aren't tons of women who choose to walk around half naked as soon as it gets warm. So women have the right to show as much flesh as they want, but men depicting women showing flesh is a sin?

And the Amazonians supposed live on a idyllic island with tropical climate right? Have these chicks ever seen what a lot of women in those climates historically wore?

I'm telling you... it's jealousy.

If those women were fat, the whole conversation would be different.

They would be brave and beautiful for being unafraid to show their bodies.

But they're well-built women so it's a shame shame shame.

Amazonians dress like they live on a beach bc they live on a beach

Amazons in DC comics

DC artists have drawn many different depictions of the Amazonians though, you picked one of the raciest.

Thats not just any artist thats jim lee

Point im trying to make is ...are these pics sexist?

And if so whats sexist about it?

Women in the UFC wear less is that sexist?

I thought the slut walk was about not shaming women bodies so now were shaming actresses that work out and show thier bodies?

Feminists basically believe that heterosexual viewing of a woman's body is Damn near criminal.

So anything a man will take pleasure in is automatically wrong.

I think it should be a rule of thumb that we not respect the opinions of lumberjack shirt wearing potato sack built women envy and project their insecurities on more attractive women.
