This is a collage tribute to Frank Miller's Sin City: The Hard Goodbye featuring Wendy, and a rebuttal to ignorant accusations that Frank Miller is sexist. Wendy was on a mission to bravely, heroically avenge her twin sister Goldie's murder. She's seeking justice. It was set up to look like Marv had murdered Goldie, so Wendy of course assumed her was the murderer of her twin sister. She successfully tracked down Marv, captured him and interrogated him. When she discovered Marv isn't guilty of the murder of her sister, she teams up with Marv to avenge her twin sister Goldie's murder.
Frank Miller explained, "My whole career has been an exploration of the hero. I started out with openly heroic characters at Marvel Comics and at DC Comics. But what always intrigued me was, in film noir, heroes are often improbable. They’re often people whom you might meet on the street and think are disgusting, or people leading hollow, empty lives — and find one purpose, one good thing to do. A recurring theme in Sin City is these are people who have really lived in the gutter and been through it and are finding their way."

Jaime King played Wendy (and her twin sister Goldie) in the incredibly faithful Sin City movie that Frank Miller co-directed. Jaime King explained, "These characters are doing things that most people would assumingly think is bad, but really actually they have a lot of goodness in them."

Wendy is strong, cunning, and independent in a position of authority in Old Town. She is a prostitute endowed with strength, independence and sexual freedom. Ladies of the evening femme fatales are classic pulp noir archetypes. Frank Miller often wrote prostitutes as dominate and strong. As author Camille Paglia said, "The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture." www.goodreads.com/quotes/20113…
Frank Miller said he makes his material "for teenage boys and teenage girls, and older men and older women. I think that women fascinate women as much as they fascinate men. It would be a waste of material to put all of these beautiful women in black sacks! I would hope that as the dregs of the ’60s finally go down the drain, that we could enter a post-feminist era where we could realize that part of a woman’s power is her beauty and enjoy it for what it is." www.indielondon.co.uk/Film-Rev…
As author Camille Paglia said, "I feel that the sexual ideology of feminism is reactionary and repressive and puritanical and phobic. Old school feminism, coveting social power, is blind to woman's cosmic sexual power." twitter.com/camillepaglia/stat…
A true sexist views women as only weak and cowardly damsels in distress, stupid and submissive, and baby making machines that should stay at home in the kitchen to clean and cook and be mommies. In contrast to a sexists beliefs, most of Frank Miller's female characters are strong, intelligent, resourceful, dominate, aggressive, and some are leaders, in positions of power.
Frank Miller doesn't write women as merely sex objects, devoid of any personality and human characteristics. I'm not embarrassed, squeamish and offended by the sight of a beautiful woman's human body or a drawing of it. I took figure drawing class in collage drawing nude models. And sexual females exposing the female body doesn't automatically equate "sexist objectification". Is Katy Perry sexist objectification? Is Nicki Minaj? Is Olivia De Berardinis' art sexist? They get a free pass because they are women? They are overtly sexual and flaunt the female body as much as any of Frank Miller's female characters do. Madonna was accused of setting back the feminist movement in the '80s because Madonna wore little feminine lingerie in public and was overtly sexual and flaunted the female body. “I get so much bad press for being overtly sexual,” sighed Madonna in Newsweek magazine (1985). “When someone like Prince, Elvis or Jagger does the same thing, they are being honest, sensual human beings. But when I do it: ‘Oh, please, Madonna, you’re setting the women’s movement back a million years’,” Cyndi Lauper agreed: “How can you criticize a woman for having a sexuality when men for years and years have been singing about nothing else? She’s just doing her thing. My thing happens to be different. Women have a sexuality that shouldn’t be suppressed.” Far from suppressing it, Madonna flaunted it. As author Camille Paglia said, "Madonna is the true feminist. She exposes the puritanism and suffocating ideology of American feminism, which is stuck in an adolescent whining mode. Madonna has taught young women to be fully female and sexual while still exercising control over their lives." quotes.dictionary.com/Madonna_…
Jaime King is topless in Sin City as Goldie. Females should be allowed as much freedom as males. I haven't seen complaints about Tarzan only wearing a little loincloth or Namor the Sub-Mariner only wearing briefs, or Hawkman's nipples being exposed, or Martian Manhunter's nipples being exposed, or Marv being shirtless in Sin City, or John Hartigan being nude in Sin City, etc. And that can be seen as erotic to women and gay men. Both cheesecake and beefcake should be accepted. Artists and women shouldn't conforming to double standards of what's considered proper or indecent/sinful for a woman in some minds in comparison to a man and cover females up accordingly, which runs contrary to feminists claimed mission to bring equality of the sexes. Obsessing the female figure is anti-equality. People who think, "Men who are aggressive, shirtless or nude and sexually active - that's studs, alpha males, sex gods" but "women who are aggressive, topless or nude and sexually active - that's just whores, worthless sluts" who "have no respect for themselves", reveals the sexist double standards in the minds of to many in society. Religion is a major culprit.
And censorship runs contrary to equality and was invented over the semi-hysterical sexual hang ups of oppressive religious hypocrites, using the Bible and faux morality, and claims to protect the children*, to preach pure hatred, fueled with bitter repression, sexist double standards, dysfunction, frustration and fears. *While churches have been exposed as having child molesting priests and the Boy Scouts have been exposed as having child molesting Scoutmasters.
The people choosing to look at, read and watch Sin City and act all offended with hate speech comments like uptight prudes seem to be embarrassed to admit that they might actually enjoy looking and watching. If you don't like it, there are plenty of other comics to read and movies to watch. I'm not squeamish and offended by the sight of the human body.

Having sexual activity with more than one person out of wedlock in life does not make anyone necessarily lacking in self-respect, or necessarily irresponsible (responsible sex is protected sex, and even those in erotic films are required to get tested at least once a month). I don't want our rights lost over some semi-hysterical pro-censorship persons sex hang ups, using the Bible and faux morality to preach pure hatred, fueled with bitter repression, frustration and fear. Religion is a major culprit of the herd mentality, vilifying physical arousal and pleasure as sinful and dirty. They use the fear of god to try and keep people down, obedient, feeling shameful of their arousal. Orgasms are healthy. There are physical and mental health benefits from orgasms. Sexual arousal and orgasm increases the number of cells called leukocytes, also endorphins and the hormone oxytocin are released from nerve cells in the hypothalamus (a region of the brain) into the bloodstream, which relieves stress, headaches, sickness, depression, pain, helping the immune system. It increased blood flow to all parts of the brain. Sexual activity has a protective effect on health which helps you live longer.
At Comic-Con with Latin actress Eva Mendes, Frank Miller defended her from harassment and said to fanboys, "And, a complaint that I have to air in defense of my femme fatale (in The Spirit (2008)), Eva Mendes: guys, I know she's almost inhumanly beautiful, but some of the 'questions' thrown at her ... they were just plain out of line. She handled them with the humor and grace I've learned to expect from Eva, but really ...asking the woman for her phone number? It wasn't funny. Eva is a woman, and an actor of much merit, not a plaything or a proper target for lewd suggestions. She deserves the respect you'd afford any talent. I've known you all for many years. You're better than that. You know you're not going to get a date with her. Don't harass her." news.moviefone.com/2008/05/15/…
