2 quotes from “Ms. Marvel, Spider-Gwen and the Ongoing War Against Sexism in Comics”

• ·         “His update of the art made Spider-Woman the coy sex object and caused industry-wide controversy and outrage, totally the debut of the comic itself. Despite the furor, Marvel still decided to publish the cover, opting to strategically cover Jessica Drew's hilariously oversized, heart-shaped tush.”
• ·         “Women are the fastest-growing reader demographic in comics, yet they still routinely get harassed, fake geek girl'd, and confronted with hypersexualized images like these.”
