Um, you are aware that praising a cover for putting a woman in appropriate armor rather than putting her in a costume that is clearly objectifying is not even remotely the same as calling a woman a bimbo, right?
The former is a critique on the way that women's bodies are packaged and sold for a presumably male audience, which then encourages them to view women as always sexually available and a vacuous fantasy rather than a real person.
The latter -- which you are accusing revena of, which is a grave insult by the way -- is perpetuating the idea above (that women, in this case "bimbos", are vacuous fantasy objects rather than real people) is something that is woman-hating and sexist in nature, and is counter to the point that she was trying to make.
Sorry if I sound pissy, but I am really really tired of people confusing valid feminist critique with pushing woman-hating agenda that is, at its heart, no different than the misogynist objectification that is being critiqued.
