I think the reason for this is simple. Action movies are made for men, not women. Since most men aren't gay, they'd rather see women sexualized than men. Sex sells.

We know that. That is actually the point we are making. We are just making the claim that it is sexist. Kind of funny you are pretty liberal and sensitive on so many other matters, but on this one you defend the status quo.

1) Did Warbler defend the status quo, or just state it?

I thought I was just stating it. I wasn't trying to defend or attack it, for that matter.

Sometimes I think the sexualizing of women goes too far(Padme being slashed in Ep 2). Other times its no big deal to me(the Bond movies).

I think we are seeing more men sexualized in popular movies though. Twilight anyone? It's just a matter of target audience.

good point.
