Yes, 'Europe' isn't the third world. I don't know what this 'daily struggle' is that you speak of, because as a European (OK, as a Brit, but that makes me European...), I don't know what you're talking about. Sophistication does not, nor ever had an 'f' in it. Also, I know we have a famous sense of humour here, but I really, really fail to see what is funny about the cover or showing women as nothing but inflatable dolls.
Frank Miller is not an awful artist in himself. He is capable of sexy, anatomically reasonable art that isn't too exaggerated by sexual fetishes. But that cover, in itself was not artistically good. The ribcage was impossible, the hips and waist severely and impossibly twisted, and the buttocks likewise impossible. If you can't admit that, then maybe you're the one who refuses to see the truth because of your preferences for his art.
If you're only allowed to have an opinion if you've gone to art school, why are you commenting? and what is this mysterious 'or something' that also gives you the right to express your opinion? Every opinion whether for or against this art has equal right to be expressed.
Also, women need the kind of men who think these female representations are realistic or acceptable, and that women need to conform to them, to tell them what feminism is and isn't? You don't need to be puritanical to notice that women in Western Comics are sex objects first, and characters not just second, but last. If it's a puritanical, obsessive bubble, it must be a very big one, because it probably encompasses nearly half the population on this planet.
