I'd say that the reason women are treated the way they are is simply because this is a comicbook for boys written before it was acceptable to expose 10-year-olds to barely concealed nudity. The women are not in fact characters, but elements of the scenery.

In any case, a particularly good review of a particularly bad comic.
