Something Richard Pace can be credited for
The artist/writer Richard Pace, who's worked at DC's Vertigo line, may be a leftist, but if there's something he did right, it would have to be the following:
Well I'm glad to see that, besides recognizing that body-shaming women is certainly degrading, he also understands that so too are Islamic burkas, and worse, niqabs. While it's always understandable why nobody should go around literally in the nude, that doesn't mean we should sexualize the entire body either, and if that's how the school was going to treat the girl in the article, they did a very terrible disfavor to her.
So there's one good thing Pace is doing as a comics creator, whatever his politics.
Instead of dealing with the boy who couldn't control himself, they shame the girl. Maybe they'll ask her to wear a burka next?https://t.co/kaOka24R5L https://t.co/kaOka24R5L— Richard Pace (@rpace) April 10, 2018
