I think that things must be placed in their context. Am I saying that those pictures naughty pieces are not there to arouse a male audience? No, I'm not. But indulging in someone fantasies don't mean offending/undervaluating the sex of the character that is the subject of that fantasy. Are the most of covers (please, note: not ACTUAL COMIC ISSUES but COVERS) performing female characters in smexy situations? No, they aren't. Are female characters usually treatened as sexual objects? I bet that they aren't.
Those are just two pieces (external collaborations by guest artists) and people is talking as if Spiderman turned into a Playboy issue. If as an artist I would be told to make a cover for a comic issue I won't draw a female character like that, but as an artist I'm free to interprete a character how I want.
I'm not complaining about girls place in the society: I'm complaining of the fact that an artist can't do what he wants because people could be "offended" by it.
