First rule of Horrorthon is: watch horror movies. Second rule of Horrorthon is: write about it. Warn us. Tempt us. The one who watches the most movies in 31 days wins. There is no prize.
I've seen this argument before and it's silly. Everyone's posing according to gender-specific conventions that exist everywhere, not just in comic books. Usher and Rihanna do the same thing, and (after watching my parents watch Black Widow beat those guys up in the Avengers trailer) the portrayal of women in action stories has improved by leaps and bounds just over the decades that I've been watching.
Take a look at The Spy Who Loved Me, wherein James Bond has an extended fight with "Jaws" in the middle of the desert and Barbara Bach just fucking stands there watching the entire time...and she's supposed to be the "best" Soviet spy out there.

Hulk is just a ho, though. No focus.
Would you really want them to?
