I think something can be sexY without being sexIST. That having been said, there is a definite lack of male objectification in SF murals. Where is the sexy man flesh? I demand more representation of gay gaze.
Regardless of whether or not you feel like it objectifies women, it’s Mark Bode! Son of famed underground comic artist Vaughn Bode. Graf artists started using Bode’s characters way back when the graf thing first started blowing up, and then after Vaughn died his son took over all of his characters and started painting them and using them in comics himself. The guy is a legend, and I love Bode’s ladies.

Yeah? And? Who the F cares??
Who said art had to be “politically correct?!”

Sexist or not, I think the whole mismatch of words and pictures on that wall is a bit of an eyesore.
