A Dichotomy, Or Not
This struck me as I was wandering about the internet, so I'm giving it a swing at you, too.
Here you can see the "Red Sonja" cover that was the starting point of the recent SFWA Bulletin kerfluffle.
And here you can see the cover of Apex Magazine's 50th issue.
One of these covers is considered exploitative of women. One of them frankly makes me uncomfortable, and that's a hard thing to do.
They are not the same cover.
Yes, folks, I officially Do Not Get It.
