Wow, DC doing something positive with Wonder Woman for the first time in about fifty years.

Not that interesting, but the Wikipedia article on WW creator, William Mourston Marston, confirms my belief that most feminist men are subs at heart :

Though Marston had described female nature as submissive, in his other writings and interviews he referred to submission as a noble practice and did not shy away from the sexual implications, saying:

"The only hope for peace is to teach people who are full of pep and unbound force to enjoy being bound... Only when the control of self by others is more pleasant than the unbound assertion of self in human relationships can we hope for a stable, peaceful human society... Giving to others, being controlled by them, submitting to other people cannot possibly be enjoyable without a strong erotic element".

About male readers, he later wrote: "Give them an alluring woman stronger than themselves to submit to, and they'll be proud to become her willing slaves!"

Wonder Woman's Origin Fundamentally Changed (Again) in the New DC Universe

This isn't the first time that the story lines been gone over and it won't be the last. If I remember right in one of the offshoot series Wonder Woman is the daughter of Hades rather than Zeus.

Jeez, people really need to get that there are several canon timelines in most comic book series'. This reminds me of the black Spiderman debacle.

They should have lots of panels where Zeus spanks her until her butt is rosy pink.

Title instantly made me assume it was a feminist circlejerk (quick edit : feminist circle... jilling off? Idfk what it is considered). I know I sound bigoted and I'm sorry, but I have no patience for stuff that sounds ridiculous as this, girlfriend agrees.

I even like DC for some of the gender issues I've seen.

About a year or more ago they did a short movie with a cowboy as the main character. He seeks out Jonah hex and when he finds her he plays dumb and let's her try to work him. if I remember correctly, she tries to kill him but he is ready for it and stops her. At the end of the movie she loses out and makes some sort of plea as a "lady". Then he just said you ain't a lady and left her to die among the many corpses of men she had killed.

You ain't a lady is just the best freakin line!
