(Anonymous) 2014-07-11 01:37 am (UTC)(link)The purpose of the Hawkeye Initiative was to make people look at female sexy-poses with fresh eyes. When a woman is in a spine-arched, chest-out, ass-up pose, the viewer automatically interprets the pose as "sexy" because that's what society has taught us to see. Putting a man in that pose removes the sexual context, allowing the viewer to see the, "Oh God, his spine is severed!" or "How does he expect to punch effectively/aim that weapon/not fall flat on his face in that pose? That's ridiculous!" inherent in the poses.
Male superheroes, for the most part, are drawn in ways that make them convincingly appear to be able to do violence to their opponents. Female superheroes, far too often, are drawn in ways that make it obvious they were traced from porn, even when they're supposed to be fighting. That's what the Hawkeye Initiative is supposed to point out.

Instead of nitpicking feminine sexy poses, which are, in fact, achievable by some real women, highlight the inappropriateness of sexuality in the scene.

Exactly. As I said in the original comment, I agree the Hawkeye Initiative has a good point to make. But the point is getting lost because the people they're trying to reach are being distracted by what they perceive is a joke about a totally different topic: effeminacy. Which isn't the point at all.
