An opinionated discussion of all things SFDebris

I've got a feeling that your opinion on what constitutes ''skimpily dressed'' and a what a traditional Muslim family (or even conservative Christian family) would consider to be ''skimpily dressed'' are two very different things.CharlesPhipps wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 11:47 pm There's a certain level of humor to the fact that skimpily dressed superheroines was never a thing in the world but the mother is panicking about it anyway. I wonder if that means Tony Stark's dancers and Captain America's backup girls are the origin of the issue (and presumably other merchandising).
Either way, I really enjoyed the Spider-Man energy of the whole thing.
Exactly there was a new X-men comic several years ago where the characters of Dust and Surge got into an argument about this.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:36 amI've got a feeling that your opinion on what constitutes ''skimpily dressed'' and a what a traditional Muslim family (or even conservative Christian family) would consider to be ''skimpily dressed'' are two very different things.CharlesPhipps wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 11:47 pm There's a certain level of humor to the fact that skimpily dressed superheroines was never a thing in the world but the mother is panicking about it anyway.

Black Widow's ''skintight catsuit with zip halfway down'' ensemble is not really something you are likely to see on the streets of Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan any time soon.
I think that is letting off Ms Marvel's parents too easily. They may not be of the ''dress women up like beekeepers'' camp, just as many Christians are not members of the Westboro Baptist church. Doesn't mean that there isn't overlap. The hijab for example. It is worn for modesty. It would be pretty hypocritical to wear a hijab and a catsuit together yes?Frustration wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:32 pm By the standards of Saudi Arabia or Afganistan, having the face be visible is shockingly underdressed for women.
I don't think we need to take their opinions into account, here.
