Speaking for myself - and only myself - I think it's too much to expect the sexualization of women to disappear completely from comics. It has been an integral part of the medium forever. However, the fact that it is only women and not men is kind of one sided. People wonder why women don't buy more comics. If everything I see ties into this, it makes me less interested in buying. If I want to look at breasts I have a mirror. Frankly, too many comics I see seem to mostly be about sexy pics of women.

I think it would be nice if people were more aware of what they were doing. I think a lot of it is just wallpaper. I also think that, if you're going to do it, it would be nice if there were "equal opportunity porn."
