Who do you think portrays them on tv and in movies? Fake women? Give me a break.
>When a man draws or designs a female character with "sexy" clothing, it's likely sexualizing that character for male viewers to ogle. When a woman decides to dress that way, it's personal expression.
I like how if a man does it, it's sexist, but if a woman does it, it's "empowerment." I guess men aren't allowed to write empowered female characters. And yet, if they don't write them--that makes them misogynists, too.
>They're criticizing usually stock characters that perpetuate stereotypes about women and objectify.
In my experience, this is just very elaborate justification for plain old jealousy of another woman's looks.
