The Hind End of Space

There’s a thing that creeps into this conversation … that if you complain about the depiction of women [in comics], it becomes, ‘Well, but ladies — the dudes are idealized too.’ And the thing is that the dudes are idealized for strength and the women are idealized for sexual availability. It’s very, very different. The women’s costumes are cut in such a way that I could give a cervical exam to 90% of our heroines. And I don’t have a medical degree! So if I can find it, that’s impressive.

Just, you know, for clarity’s sake: I said “I don’t have a MEDICAL degree.”  I do have a degree.  But nothing at the University of Texas Department of Theatre and Dance prepared me for locating a cervix.
