There's reasons to like the boob window OTHER THAN PURE MISOGYNY you know. Maybe cos, you know, some people find it fun, pleasant and sexy to look at? And some of them aren't even men.

But apart from that matter, women in comics do seem to get saddled with the impractical fighting costumes (and often ridiculously unrealistic anatomy, Liefeld aside), because it's less for them about fighting and more about what they look like. And men usually aren't put on the same level of fantasy wish-fulfilment sexy. And that is a double standard, cos, you know, an awful lot of comics written by straight men.

Exactly. Some women have large breasts and PG is one of those women. Also, if she wants a boob window, she gets to have a boob window. I am totally okay with those two points. But when most female superheroes are depicted with similarly large breasts - often the only variation in breast size and shape happens when the artist changes - and similarly impractical/exploitative outfits, it gets really tiring.
