REUTERS: Protests end Wonder Woman's fight for equality at United Nations

[spirit2011]

The problem they're stating is that Wonder Woman has been written and drawn by men as a sexual fantasy for men. Wonder Woman doesn't have to look like a gorgeous white woman who's both busty and skinny, she's drawn that way for the sake of the male reader. That's the message they're trying to send. If they were attacking Angelina Jolie for being too attractive to be a feminist icon, that would be shameful. But they're instead attacking the way men have chosen to depict her.

Not that I agree with them, nor do I think this is why WW isn't ambassador anymore. But they have a point, even though protesting a rather silly and useless title for a fictional character is a complete waste of time from my perspective.

This is a good point, but they way presented on the petitions it was more body shame than a reasonable critic

I am going to have to dsagree on that. They make some very valid points.

I would hope that there are better ways to promote female empowerment and gender equality than throwing a fit over a fictional character being chosen as an honorary UN ambassador. Surely there are more pressing matters going on in the world, no? Other than providing ideas for a potential future comic story, I just don't see how this 'petition' will benefit the advancement and empowerment of women in any way.

Well, valid points is a very subjective characteristic.

Like i said, it seems that the only superheroine qualified for this position is Faith. You know, thin privilege and all of that.

Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Batgirl.

Yes, Jean Grey has never been sexualized...

That's why one of her classic outfits is a skintight green catsuit.

Superhero comics and some their fans have different standards for this. As long as less than 80% of skin is showing, it's not sexualised.[/sarcasm]

Which is like claiming to be fully dressed when only wearing body-paint.

Honestly, I have seen people here claim that Balent's Catwoman is not sexualised because no skin is showing.

Well, I guess Guillem March's Catwoman is safe from them atleast.

In today's Justice League vs Suicide Squad #1, there was a full page advertisement for this campaign. It was also in Trinity.

There was an advertisement telling the UN to kick Wonder Woman out?

No, it was for the original campaign, with artwork by Nicola Scott. It was the image used at the ceremony that Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot attended. It was nice to see the artwork, whether the campaign is continued or not, it is a good cause.

Yeah this was depressing.......
I don't want to vent the many reasons I am angry about this, and trust me there are many reasons.
So
1:read the WW 75th aniversary issue to see why WW should be reins tighten.
2:Just make Gal Gadot UN representatives if need be
