Scrapscallion: Gender Norms and Men in Tights: Part One - The Golden Age of Tiny Shorts

comicsriot:

This is the first of a series about how male superhero costumes are affected by gender norms and sexual stereotypes. My hope is to build a larger cohesive narrative throughout the posts, but I’ll admit upfront that I don’t have a hard and fast outline. Come with me and see where…

This is relevant to pretty much all of my areas of interest.

I have made it all make sense.
We now have, clockwise from top left:1) the scenario going on between the aliens depicted by the original artist, which was not actually a fight scene at all, but a desperate attempt to cooperate despite the mind-controlling tentacle creatures attached to their heads.  
2) the original art.
3) what a fight scene between Artemis and Diana might look like, on a cliff in the moonlight in a temperate summer rainforest.
4) a context in which the poses of the aliens make sense for human characters.

This father/daughter Wonder Woman cosplay is great. I’m not really into the wig, but otherwise he’s totally pulling this off as a manly man’s costume. Or more accurately, a gender-neutral costume, I guess.
