Literally the exact same cover but it’s only sexist if it’s a women on the cover.

It's not just the cover, Spiderman is often drawn in that pose and it's never controversial.

From memory, the first Spiderman movie even featured a brief scene where a female bystander commented on how good his ass looked in blue tights. Again - no fuss by anyone over that.

Also, when it’s a man it says “The Amazing Spider-Man” but when it’s a woman, “The Amazing” is left out, therefore Spider Woman is not amazing only because she’s a woman, hence the title is sexist due to this omission.

Feminist logic in a nutshell

Yeah in general, male actions heroes have conventionally perfect muscular bodies, handsome faces, and often wear form-fitting clothes. It's only "objectification" and "promoting unrealistic body standards" when all of a sudden it's a heroine

I understand they want the shot, but the way her head is tilted is almost 90^o backwards... bah. That's freaky, and badly drawn

Someone made a post about MCU posters and made men “pose how women do”, I then commented about how men get a shirtless scene in most movies and got a ton of downvotes

Well ok sure but what about confirmation bias?

Without it feminism pretty much falls apart. So you can't dismiss that.

I guess they wanted a fat female spider girl?

The weight could be an issue in the comic that she deals with constantly: that she's always hungry and she has a wrecking ball "move".

Climbing walls will be a chore while she's downing a pizza she just stole, not to mention she'll be fighting gravity this whole time.

So, she's constantly hungry and justifies the stealing of food with "Well, I'm a super hero in a thankless job. This is how the city will repay me."
