Ah, I begin to understand. I see the hyper-masculinity of male superheros as being a very bad thing. They give people unrealistic depictions of male behavior, and most of the men I've known that have been hyper-masculine like that have been complete douches. The absurd strength and power of the superheroes - and how it is pictured as being used - is not something to live up to. It is something to avoid. And on the rare occasions when superheroes are pictured as being vulnerable, it is almost always about their strength being insuffient, instead of making note of their often deficient moral character or mental acuity.

That may be where my disagreement is coming from. I don't see that as a positive objectification any more than the simplification of female superheros to focus on their vulnerability. Both are atrocities to me.

However, you have located one thing on which we can agree: Sarah Conner is a hottie. :) But then I've always preferred powerful women (and I mean that about personality more than I do about physique).
