Feminists don't stand on an equal rights platform. It's ultimately a self-serving platform. They have no interest in the difficulties men face to measure up to social standards (most of which they themselves define).
Of course it's hypocritical and works against their holier-than-thou attitude, but it's how they think.
So what we have at present in the social contract is a stool that's missing a leg and can't stand. Women have managed to secure for themselves more entitlement in exchange for less responsibility while putting increasing constraints and requirements on men.
They have successfully employed the language of equal rights and victimhood as a wedge to secure more and more power. This is why the mere act of questioning the shifting content in things like comic books opens you up to name-calling.
The other thing is a chicken and the egg dilemma.
Comics are, predominately, staffed by young people, right? We're far enough downstream that it may be difficult to find anyone under 30 who isn't in some shape or form an SJW, male or female, as the damage has already been done to Millennials.
So rather than the people behind comics being part of a cabal, it may just reflect the shift that has already taken place, and is therefore a lost cause.
