Great... now movie posters are sexist?

[IanHulett]

Little kids can see that billboard.
So when your kid asks why that man is choking that woman, you tell them that it's ok in this instance because she's really a mutant and he's from the olden days and.....isn't it hard enough having to explain to them why there's a man hanging on a cross all over the place.

Uh no. If I were in that position, I would give my child an answer about the movie. Give them the context. Not simply "It's okay because she's a mutant." But I wouldn't say "Look away, jonny. That poster is sexist."

The poster is vague, yes. That's probably one of the arguments against it. But If I see no evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt some god figure exists, I see no reason to believe in one. A vague book isn't going to be enough to prove to me one exists. The same thing applies to this poster. Unless there is some explicit proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that this poster is sexist, I see no reason to think of it that way. The poster says "Only the strong will survive." I acknowledge that. But I still see no reason to believe, just because it's a guy strangling a woman, that it's sexist.
