the reason there is a focus on those things is because women are in general the more beautiful of the species.
first off, this is an opinion, therefore diminishing the strength of your argument. i would say that the real reason lies moreso in the fact that comics, and particularly superhero comics, tend to be created by straight men, for other straight men.
sure women can be smart, creative, whatever they want...but there's nothing wrong with being a sexual, sexy, being. move on.
it's not as if the frank miller drawing in question is a celebration of wonder woman's beauty, but rather her tits and ass, since the entire focus of the piece is on this sexually exaggerated female form, with the star spangled skirt that tells us this female is wonder woman almost being an afterthought. and no, there's nothing wrong with women being "sexy, sexual beings," but this is hardly a depiction of a woman enjoying her own sexuality as her own person, but rather a fantasy of a sexuality created by and for the male gaze, of this contorted figure whose sole characteristic and purpose in this drawing is to please the onlooker. and the female as the object whose sole purpose is to please the onlooker tends to be a very frank miller thing to do, hence the outrage of the original post.
and as for how women and men dress, and what women look for in men, your thoughts on these matters seem to rely more on stereotypes. there are plenty of men who don't dress necessarily in whatever's comfortable, but also tend to dress in ways that will show off their better physical attributes. and there are some women for whom looks and sex appeal are a priority, and not every woman's out to find a man who's rich, or powerful, or charismatic, or funny.
