Obviously,if you put a musclebound male into a woman's outfit, it invariably looks fun to us (culturally conditioned to find men wearing traditionally women's clothing as funny looking). It looks awkward and silly. men tend to be hairy and we don't have the same shape, so putting us in bikinis and shorts and tops and such designed for women is like putting square pegs into round holes.
It seemed to me that that the portrayal of male superheroes is not characteristically different than the portrayal of female superheroes. Males are generally superior physical specimens, with virtually no body fat. Unnatural musculature -- overly broad shoulders - huge chests, v-shapes to an exaggeratedly narrow waist, etc. No man can "measure up" to the superhero standard.
Then, they wear tights -- it's almost as if the outfits are painted on, we can see the abs, biceps, etc. bulging out. If we weren't used to seeing superheroes, we would think that they look absolutely ridiculous.
And, put a woman in the male costumes, and they would, I suspect, look about as ridiculous as the males in the female costumes.
Is there really an inequity here? I submit that I don't think there is.
Is this any more realistic or less objectifying than a female superhero?

Or this --

Here are the super friends:

The wonder twins are dress about the same. Wonder woman doesn't seem all that strangely dressed compared to the men. Look at Robin. He has only a speedo.
Yes, the men would look ridiculous wearing wonder woman's clothes, but isn't that more because they are shaped completely different than Wonder woman?
I think there is room here for Thunderf00t to do one of his masterful debunkings. I think if we really examine superheroes, we won't find the inequity that is often complained of.
