To add one last thing, I think it's very bad to police art in any way whatsoever. If you don't like it don't watch it and by all means tell other people not to either. Otherwise, everything will become a homogenized mass of sameness.

I haven't seen Suicide Squad, have you? I doubt the entirety of the portrayal of Harley Quinn is purely sexual objectification. She's a complex and tragic character and if they don't show more than just her sexy side then that's just boring. My point is it's ok to show sexy especially if it's part of the character. If…
So if objectification isn't happening in exactly the same amount of frequency, the side with less is instantly dismissed as not having any? My point is I'd be ok with a guy being sexually objectified for a whole movie and it does happen. You're cherry picking situations and not being honest. Not everything is for me…
Ok fine. Jason Bourne with his shirt off in the new film. Bond coming out of the water. Chris Hemsworth in almost every movie he does. Chris Evans etc. Are women more sexually objectified? yes. I just find it hard to take an argument seriously that doesn't acknowledge it happens with men too. Guess what, we're all…
Amateur. Let's point to something completely unrelated because I can't counter the actual argument. I agree that Quiet was completely male fantasy. So what? Chris Hemsworth with his shirt off is Female fantasy. I'm ok with both.
Yes, what a strong independent character. I'm very familiar with TAS and you've described her character inaccurately. She's portrayed to be a tragic figure and most definitely used sex appeal as an asset.
I'm not sexist, I'm realistic. I very much respect women I just don't agree everything has to be portrayed one way. Variety is a good thing even if you don't like or agree with what's being portrayed.
It's fiction. Not everything has to be fair and correct. You're not supposed to agree with everything. How boring would that be? I could easily make the same arguments for Channing Tatum and Magic Mike.
This entire article is ridiculous. Does the author even know what the character of Harley Quinn is? She's always been a sexy and abused tool of the Joker, not some women empowerment fantasy. From everything I've read she was the only bright spot in a mediocre film.
