I basically agree with you. I think I was getting at something a little different, which is where to me the sexism issue meets up with the question of anatomy critique.

For example, take the prevalence of the infamous boobs-and-butt pose. It's so ubiquitous, and appears in so many works across the age spectrum, including media for children and things which are probably not meant to be sexualized at all, that if I see an artist who draws a woman in a B&B post I am forced to question their ability. That pose often /does/ break anatomy, at least a little bit - so if an artist is simply replicating it without wondering, without even one brief moment of "wait...", without considering the audience and context of the work and asking if sexualization is appropriate - I think it DOES reflect badly on the artist.

I'm not talking about enforcing rules of reality. I have no problem with style. But blindly mimicking tired, sexualized female poses because that's what everybody does is not a 'style', it's laziness.
