This post was excellent.

What people don't understand about the whole "But men are over-muscled and unrealistic in comics, too!" arguement, is that women disproportionate and objectified is a male power fantasy. Men who are chisled and adonis like is ALSO a male power fantasy. So it's hard to say men that are objectified in comics, when it's MEN for the most part who get off (figuratively) on their appearance.
