EPTAnd Heracles was Greek, Scip, it's not like he had choice! Leave the poor thing be.
(Yesterday I read about Józef Piłsudski on wiki. Started from Gettysburg's Campaign.)

The reason for the super heros being strong men and sexy women is obviously because they were designed by men for men. | ||

Sometimes she's ok with lying butt down in it and others with her chest on one end and feet under the otherside, you would a tube raft or whatever those are called. 2)Moby Wrap. Yes, I like fashionable and sexy while wearing this. | ||

so I think the next book I'm gonna read is don Quixote. I recently read the count of Monte cristo even though I don't have a high tolerance for older language, I absolutely loved it. plus if I can read atlas shrugged (and obviously enjoy it), I figure I gotta give don a chance right!? | ||

Not that this isn't true, but women tend to draw sexy women as well. Maybe it's conditioning of the last few hundred years, but here have been studies done about how both sexes find the 'ideal female form' to be aesthetically(and sexually) pleasing, regardless of sexuality. Now if you want to talk about the personalities and the attire worn by most 'super women,' that is definitely a male construct, and something that's been talked about a ton in gaming. | ||

Wouldn't you describe the 'ideal male form' to be aesthetically (and sexually) pleasing as well? big bad muscle man with flowing golden locks style? | ||

but yeah, as I've grown up I realized I missed out on some great books because I couldn't stand the lofty/older/deeper diction. | ||
