The New-52 is what you'd call a 'clean state' and Wonder Woman is still a fresh item. For many years, Wonder Woman has been clogged down by Feminist steryotype and propoganda: though, don't get me wrong, she has had good stories but for most of the time writers tend to link her TOO much to feminism.

We are in an era to which Feminism is being overtaken by Social Justice Warrior garbage / Feminazi's - and the Feminist movement has largely made an impact, there's a reason why Wonder Woman was more of a symbol in the Golden Age.

Instead, political correctness and female power has caused a ''we hate men'' label to come around. Men's rights have been oppressed, women are now given more 'privilege' in some sense.

If Wonder Woman were to become a supporter of men's rights, then we could be looking at VERY good writing. And to top it off, Wonder Woman would gain a bigger fanbase. Now this doesn't mean Wonder Woman simply proclaims ''I support men's rights!'' --- but instead, Wonder Woman storylines are given thematic allegories for support of men's rights, rather than Feminism.

Really? I've never realised that.

It becomes cringe worthy when some writers associate Wonder Woman with a Feminazi.

Oh You've done it now. I know at least one user who's going to crawl out of the wood work with a pitch fork and torch because of this thread.

Anyway Yes and no. At first she should come from a place where she learns as much from "mans world" as she tries to teach it. Meaning she should be portrayed as having a bit of that biased/prejudice from the culture she has grown from. Then after she learns more about the world other than the singular narrow minded viewpoint of the Amazons she grows as a person making her better than the other Amazons better and the world will be better for her more rounded influence.

yeah I'm sure this post didn't help any either. :p

@frozen: Can you give an example? I haven't read much WW.

@johnfrank120: Geoff Johns has no idea how to write Wonder Woman. Neither does Loeb, but that's what you'd expect from him. John Byrne sucks with Wonder Woman. IIRC Robert Kanigher was not good either.

@frozen: I mean an example of WW being clogged down with too much feminism.

Sorry for any confusion.

No she shouldn't.

She shouldn't be associated with feminism or "menism" ( :D ). She's find as she is now. Leave her be.

I actually agree that now there's a "we hate Men" trend.

Is...is this a joke.

@frozen: equal rights ... Gender, color and sexuality blind would be a much better and realistic platform if writers feel the need to make her an activist.

The men-hate label has always been fastened upon feminism at least since the 1920's but probably since the movement gained momentum. People just don't know how to disassociate them, it's not a recent phenomenon. I don't remember seeing Wonder Woman actively preach feminism and it's not something you guys need to worry about now because it looks as though dc has severed that connection. First they hired Brian Azzarello to scrap the feminist utopia, then came the relationship with Superman and if any doubt remained, David Finch took care of it.

Which is why WW shouldn't take sides ... she's a symbol not a campaign leader. Man-haters abound out there, but typically these are individuals who don't actually understand what they are "fighting" for and are doing little other than spouting off tidbits that they've heard out of context. WW should be left well out of that type of silliness, I can't imagine her being attached to any cause that had "anti" or "hate" attached to it ... I think she would be embarrassed by some of the rhetoric thrown around by both sides of the debate. She's proven over and over that she's not a man-hater ... even when the rest of the Amazons have been shown as such.

She was INVENTED to be a feminist icon. If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't read her stories.

Stop oppressing her!

Meh

Okay, that's a deep cut

That's more an attack on "fans" who like her cus of her iconic status but know diddly about the character, well the one I quoted was.

A fictitious feminist icon fighting for men's rights -- the Feminazis are going to love that.
