Re: More Wonder Woman news!

[caecilia]

Don't get me wrong, I like looking at hot women, but I also identify with the woman I'm looking at and I can tell when she's made to look like a sex object for straight men. I don't like being a sex object for straight men, and I don't like being forced to go along with their sexual fantasies (and this happens to straight/bi women too, sure they get a lot of male eyecandy but the male characters are made to look the way every guy in the audience wants himself to look).

Say I watch a movie with a straight guy friend. Say it was a Hollywood movie and the only female character is there to look hot for the guys. We could agree that she is hot, we might even find the same traits attractive. We could then watch a movie that had a lesbian audience in mind (But I'm a Cheerleader is a good one) and agree that the women are attractive and the sex scene is hot, but the way the women are presented is very different. The way I imagine women, and the way I want to see women on the screen, is closer to But I'm a Cheerleader than basically every image of women I've been exposed to on a daily basis for the past 25 years. I think straight men would benefit from this too because it seems to me that they think only one body type is hot, and there are so many different types of sexiness that they are missing out on.

I hope this made sense, it was really rambly. tl;dr I agree with the anon you were responding to, and I, as a lesbian, want the image of women in movies to change because showing a woman as a person rather than a sex object doesn't necessarily mean she has to be unsexy.
