My problem isn’t that she’s lean, it’s that she doesn’t have much muscle mass. She doesn’t look like an Amazon. That screenshot above has some super skinny arms. I want a WW that looks more like this muscle-wise:

That depends heavily on the artist. She has certainly had stints where she had significant muscle mass.

No, you don’t need to wear a bra. No, burning a bra in solidarity is not good enough for anyone to call themselves a feminist.

The issue for me was more that WW is one of the only female superheroes who’s consistently depicted as being as muscular as Batman and Superman (unlike, for example Black Widow or even Supergirl, who’re usually slimmer in the comic books), so it would have been nice to see movie studios add some body diversity to the…

God, I hope that when people see my shaggy armpits they think I’m involved in some kind of BAMF Political Lesbianism rather than knowing I’m a lazy mom who keeps forgetting to buy razors.

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve ever met a “man-hating feminist”, yet for a bunch of people this seems to be their default assumption. As for the bra burning, I’m not sure where it leaves me as male feminist, do I have to go buy one and burn it?

Matt Fraction once said: “The older you get, the more you live in the world, it’s impossible not to look at Batman through class and race. Batman is a rich white billionaire who beats up poor brown people and the mentally ill.” 

In the 2009 animated movie there was a moment where she beats up some muggers in an alley in a normal dress and heels, but then a monster shows up and there is this really small moment where she kicks off the heels. I just love that detail. The movie is plenty flawed, but that part is perfect.

Just because Wonder Woman was created by a feminist doesn’t mean that when a massive multimedia conglomerate takes hold of it that their product is automatically feminist. It doesn’t mean it isn’t, but the end goals of the two creators in this instance are massively different. Assuming that corporate products are…

Have you actually been to io9? Everyone there is hoping this will be good/saying this looks like it will be good/pointing out tweets from early viewers saying it’s good. Nobody is just irrationally shitting on all DC movies over there; it’s just an unfortunate coincidence that most DC movies have been horrible.

Everybo…

“I think people have a misconception about what feminism is. People think hairy armpits and women who burn bras and hate men.”

Like the “Found Footage” genre, I am getting sick of the “Superhero” genre– but hoping Wonder Woman revives my flagging interest. The apparent historic difficulty of making a film featuring a superheroine has made me very curious as to the filmmaker’s solution to that problem. My curiosity has also been piqued by the…

*opens jar*

They just posted this morning saying it is getting great early reviews so fingers crossed!

That is how facists gain power. They count on everyone being polite and giving them equal time/opportunity to build their platform and then next thing you know they’re the 45th President of the United States.

The belief that Jews or Blacks should be cleansed is to be tolerated such as every other belief

What you are describing is the paradox of tolerance. As Karl Popper said, “Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the…

Hate speech shouldn’t be protected under freedom of speech. Countries have laws against it. Like, surprise, Germany. These aren’t differing opinions. These are incitement to hate crimes, removal of rights, mass murder. They’ll tear apart your freedom of speech and the rest of the constitution at the first chance…

Have you ever considered *not* playing advocate for literal devils?
