A single image can be a sexist image if it is portraying something inherently sexist, let's say a guy standing above a woman who is on her hands and knees and wearing a dog collar, but looking lustful is not inherently sexist. While it is true that the image of Power Girl on the cover is not showing her being assertive or aggressive or rolling up her sleeve and being ready for action, it is not true that an image of her not doing those things NEGATES the other images. Certainly, anyone could see her in one image that portrayed one characteristic and still think of her as also having the characteristics that we saw in earlier or later images.

Power Girl, like you and me, can in some instances be filled with lust, while in other instances be filled with rage, joy, determination or any other emotion. Lust does not negate any other emotion one has felt or will feel.

Lust is not demeaning. Lust is not a sign of weakness. Lust is neither sexist nor feminist.
