I'm not saying you don't have a point. I just think that in this particular case, she was treated differently in comparison to other male superheroes, such as Batman. And at least some of that is based on her gender.

Because even if the Joker didn't make the connection, the readers, writer and DC did.

It's not simply woman experiencing violence, it's they way they are and how it is different to their male counterparts. Though the line and whether or not it has been crossed is up for debate.

It appears we disagree in this instance.

But these are my thoughts on the KJ, the anniversary image itself well, the artist was able to depict a harrowing moment in Batgirls history. It's all in her facial expression, they way that he's in her personal space...it reminds me that he violated her. (note, I'm not saying she was raped. Though I do see forcefully stripping anyone as a form of sexual assault.)

If there'd been a similar picture of Nightwing and Tarantula, I would have felt the same.

Not saying that the artist shouldn't have drawn it, though, perhaps not for Batgirl's comic or something so mainstream.
