Another Take on the Portrayal of Comic Book Women

I stumbled upon a few videos about how women are portrayed in comic books. I get so annoyed that people only look at the negative side of comic books, or only point out some of the part of the problem and not all of it. OR...they decide that they are gonna think for everyone and don't realize that we all have our own opinion! Here are a couple of the videos.

This first video is of people being interviewed on if women of comic books are being degraded and if they are good role models. Check it out!
 


This next video show's makes me annoyed, it's showing the darker side of comic books but only in a way to make women look like a pathetic victim. Um, hello, male superheroes have had unnaturally sadistic things done to them just as much as their female counter parts have, it's just nobody talks about it!!! Yes, there have been mutilation, rape, and other gruesome deeds done to these heroines, but the same have happened to male heroes...if you're gonna get upset about the violent nature of comic books then get upset about all of it, not just a piece of it. Anyway, before I blow up, check this video out and tell me what you think.
