Preeeetty much.

I mean, there's nothing inherently wrong with sexy action stars. There really isn't. The problem is how gendered this stuff is and how much it panders to the straight male gaze.

If we got sexy'd up characters in equal doses regardless of gender and they were sexy'd up to the same degree, I don't think I would complain as much, cuz DAMN. That guy Kry linked? I'd be all over that.
