It's not about what makes it feminine it's about what she feels like she wants to wear,she decides ,not you.
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
So your issue is that a woman didn't design Power Girl's outfit? A woman is not a superior fashion designer by virtue of her sex, else we wouldn't have had men doing so well in the fashion industry.
Wolverine wears his masculinity on his hairy arms. And I'd have no problem with Namor donning his classic speedo if it also meant we'd get Namorita wearing swimwear as well.
And I never said the window was vital to Power Girl, or I wouldn't be open to her donning her JLE costume again, but there's no reason to be embarrassed or prudish about it either. Embarrassment and prudishness are why creators changed Jessica Drew's costume to these less feminine and lame updates.
Thsts every character and every decision made in anything,that is a straw man arguement,cause then we can question every character and decision from the beginnings of storytelling.
What do you think of vampirella or Sheena,they iyo probably way worse?
You have a opinion,that's it,your not the fashion police or the morality police,she wears what she wants,acts the way she wants,if she isn't hurting anybody else ,what is the problem?

Criticizing the way a man designed a fictional character based on her characterization, is nothing like thinking I should have an opinion about how a woman wants to dress.
Stop using that nonsense argument
Ultimately, I've said all I had to say, you can go back and read carefully, or don't. But I don't care enough about this dumb discussion to stay around, which I'm sure won't bother anybody

She's really, really not. Though I can see the similarities and why people might think they have more in common than they actually do. But they were both reflections of 70's/80's era feminism when they were created so some overlap isn't surprising.
Yeah, the classic costume was designed decades ago, and yes it was almost certainly done for the benefit of young male readers at the time. That doesn't amount to much, as in the years since then Karen's personality and characterization has been developed to take such elements into account, and justifications shift with the ebb and flow of cultural norms anyway. At a bare minimum, enjoying her own cleavage for its own sake has been folded into Karen's character for the last twenty-ish years. If the 80's and 90's JL titles offered a different opinion? Fair enough but those aren't a factor in her character anymore, and as I understand it, also saw some of her worst storylines so it's likely best to keep ignoring the era...or at least the parts that don't jive with her modern incarnation.But those writers and artists have defined her character and her sense of style.
And acting as if her fashion choices are somehow unrealistic or solely for the benefit of the male gaze is ignoring millions and millions and millions of women around the world who dress the same way for their own pleasure.
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

How about not making statements like those?
Not everyone here is a 80 year old retired man that spends his days in the nursery home. I'm not philosophizing about the world, I'm living in it. I'm 20 year old person with a girlfriend that has often worn clothes like those, as have friends of mine, and plenty of more revealing outfits obviously.
This doesn't mean they would want to wear it if they were police officers or when they go to a business meeting.
And nobody here compared Power Girl to Carol Danvers

When has Power Girl been in the military? Is this a New Poopy Two thing? Like the Murdery Mob Boss Catwoman thing?
