Isn't this the same debate that comes up in coimcs all the time? People will cry about female characters being objectified, and when someone points out the male characters have bodies just as unrealistic, the complainant says it's different because standards of male sexiness have to do with athleticism and strength, not things like big boobs and slim waists?
It's also kinda hard to take any of these complaints about objectifying objectively when you happen to know the person in question writes Batman/Robin slashfic.
