Because a great deal of this isn't just about "sexuality", and sexuality isn't necessarily a positive thing when the message to one gender is "You are an object to be enjoyed for another's pleasure" and to the other is "Objectify away! And if you don't, something is wrong with you."
And no one here has suggested it's "akin to committing a capital offense" but you. "It would be nice to take my young daughter to do something she wanted to do, and find stories about women with clothing that doesn't look like it's painted on" is pretty far away from calling something a "capital offense".
You missed my point entirely. The reason why women are objectified is that sexuality is hidden in public in America. That's why hyper sexualized imagery exists in comic books and the like. This is a unique and peculiar American problem; posters from other countries don't have the same issues.
I've traveled a good bit of the world, and lived in a number of non-American countries (including some where sexuality is more...upfront), and hyper-sexualized imagery of women, and the attendant problems, are hardly a uniquely American phenomenon.
It might be comforting to believe it to be so, but it's not. Hell, one of the most problematic comic covers I can think of in the most recent past wasn't even by an American artist.
