Well I have a question... about writing comics!

What are good ways to write female characters?

What are ways to keep female characters from seeming like they are TRYING to be sex objects?

And what kind of general advice do Women have that they hate seeing men do when they write female characters?

A good example of writing For Female characters IN MY MIND is the Kill Bill movies The Bride is portrayed with a strong personality, and doesn't always run around in designer clothes with her boobs hanging out.

Not only that but there are many times Uma Thurman looks down right filthy in the movie, making it seem she's a real character rather that a doll the writers dressed up to look good in the movies.

Part of the reason I ask such thing is that I ask is that there has been a lot off discussion of getting more women into video games, and one way this was discussed was redesigning Lara Croft, but what doesn't makes sense to me is that she still looks like the same character (Big juggs and all) just portrayed and rendered a little more realistically.

SO we get the idea that female characters are supposed to be more realistic and have less sexuality, but remember I am writing ACTION, and I would have no interest in an action movie with a heavier less buff male lead so why must we assume that's what women want?

And yes sexuality dose come into play, remember would you want to portray a sexy character that was a prude? Or would writing the fact they sleep with more that certain amount of guys make them seem like your writing a "whore"

Keep in mind that in my comics if characters are incompatible species (For instance dog and a Rabbit anthro) they can't make babies, AND if you think about it a "regeneration spell" would make for awesome birth control, and yes there are many spells designed to keep characters "virgins" and prevent unwanted births and stuff

Also clothes, clothes are a representation of the person who's wearing them's personality so one would THINK that a woman with a sexy personality would naturally ware sexy clothes, Now obviously you wouldn't want your female lead walking around half naked all the time, but I'm also talking about thing like stalkings boots, skirts dresses, and what ever,

Or perhaps you have suggestions of strong females would ware.

One thing to keep in mind is that as a man I am always getting contradicting information, when it comes to the female psyche.

As men we are told that women want more realistic measurements, bigger less flattering clothes, les sexuality, smaller boos, but then we see the games/ movies that have the highest female interest and we seen cartoons, doll lines, and anime made specially FOR women, and get total contradictions.

Look at Sailor Moon, or any female Oriented anime, there are often tons of short skirts, large breasts, and TONS of fashion references!

Like I said, total contradictions.

If this whole journal makes no sense at all... that only makes my point stronger.
