Yeah not sure what this is supposed to be satirizing.

Uh guys I think it's supposed to be satirizing the fact that female characters are over-sexualized to this degree constantly? Isn't this just trying to even things up in a funny way?

These were really great. Love the shower scene. Sexcrawler almost made me barf, though.

It's actually more about the much discussed Milo Manara Spider-Woman variant. Haven't you been following comics news lately?

> females wearing skimpy clothing is 'sexy'
> males wearing skimpy clothing is a joke.

If they were trying to make a point she should have done actual variant covers of sexy men.

"The Line is Drawn" is a humorous column. Not hard hitting journalism. What is your point?

Some people seem to put an awful lot of effort into missing the point of even the simplest things.

Well that makes sense.

Except this is always the case. Whenever someone tries to make a retort by putting men in the place of women its almost always a joke. Why don't people try to make actual sexy male covers?
