A picture of Power Girl looking sexy while showing a cocky expression on her face, or pulling back a fist, or posing with her hands triumphantly on her waist - that would be fine. Because that's Power Girl, and that's what her personality looks like. But a picture of Power Girl posing like a limp blow-up doll with no expression on her face - that's sexist, because it robs her of her personality and displays her as a passive fuckdoll.

So what does Power Girl look like when she wants to have sex? And isn't it a good thing that guys would view a powerful, assertive woman as an ideal woman to have a sexual relationship with?

Putting Power Girl into a sexual pose doesn't rob her of her personality anymore than you or I have been robbed of our personality when we are in sexual positions. I am not robbed of my personality or power just because someone views me sexually. The problem with feminist theory is that it assumes that guys can’t think two things at one time. But I assure you, we can. We can think that someone is sexy, even want to see that someone in a provocative pose, and still think that person is dynamic, powerful, bright, ambitious, self-aware, etc. etc.
