pfb or can i be offended by this?

[PeekABored]

soooo, my ds, 4, showed me the colouring in he did today at school. He then asked if Spider Woman was naked, and wasn't that a bit silly.

I was really quite shocked. This is the image.

What's the MN consensus? Is that just the deal with superheros (women, but also men) that they have exaggerated bodies? Or is it totally outrageous that my son spent the afternoon colouring in the giant bazongas of what he thought was a naked woman.

Yabu. Did he draw nipples?

Sure superheroes have exaggerated bodies, but that doesn't mean its acceptable and it certainly doesn't mean I want my child 'studying them' at school.

Very

I would be telling the school tomorrow that the pictures were inappropriate.

Did he stay within the lines?

YANBU though

Don't like it. YANBU

Hur Hur.... :) He didn't really come home from school with that, did he???! Are you in the UK?

catgurl they are amazing and hilarious!

Sorry but I just genuinely laughed out loud!

Didn't realise Superwoman was a page 3 model.

YANBU

Somebody printed out the first Google Image they found ....

Awful.

That is funny, well good for him, did he add clothes or pubic hair?

I'd complain... totally inappropriate

Did he get a picture of Spider-Man with a big spunking willy?

This is a joke, right.?...

You think women's bodies - not even naked by the looks of this - are inappropriate?

It's a bit off for a little kid to be shown these in an educational setting, but maybe they just didn't think twice because its cartoony perhaps an word in their ear to say you'd rather your child was presented with realistic people to colour, or at least not people in skin tight Lycra!

I'd also be bringing up with them that they can't just take someone else art even if they found it on the web, it is still beholden to copyright laws. But then I get huffy about that after having my own stuff stolen and used by a t-shirt manufacturer.

Womens bodies aren't inappropriate. Unrealistic oversexualised depictions of women are inappropriate. For anyone.
Comics are horribly sexist and misrepresentational.

Surely she's wearing a tight lycra suit?

Either way, I can't see how or why you're 'shocked'?

My dd did superheroes as a topic in yr4 very well handled.

Maybe yours was a surplus one and next week he'll be colouring in togas

And they are all wearing the wrong bras (not to mention bikini tops). Maybe they have super power boobs too.

She's wearing a leotard type thing and what you can see the shape of her boobs?

What does he think are the great mounds on womens chests or is this the first time he's been exposed to such horrors.

Theres nothing inappropriate about the picture.

The shape of her entirely fake, not even in the right place boobs. You don't really get it, do you?

I've got a couple of friends with figures like that. Pneumatic boobs. Where is the 'right' place for boobs please?

That's terrible!

YANBU

I'm really laughing out loud here (DH thinks I've gone mad!)

'Entirely fake' boobs?

On a drawing?

Who'da thunk it?

Gods sake its a bloody cartoon woman! Amazingly i think kids may have seen a womans body before its not inappropriate. They were colouring in not labelling body parts.agree with other posters you're all being precious.
