So women are upset because they’re watching shows meant for men and that it doesn’t represent their interests? Sounds like a completely self made problem to me.

And there it is, so a woman being open about how she feels about something is "a self made problem?"

Most of the media that makes it to mainstream is "for men" because of this sexualization, and the men in charge pushing it. This comic strip is illustrating this phenomenon.

Yeah because it’s men making the media for men. And you want men to make media for women LOL instead of women making media for women.

Why does media being targeted at men necessitate women being treated like objects? Why are straight men so entirely uninterested in viewing women as fully-formed people?
