re: Wonder Woman's new origin

The most amusing (read: "amusing") thing is that a couple years ago, I was discussing Wonder Woman with someone who offered that "Wonder Woman makes guys uncomfortable."

Me: What, cause she can beat them up?

Her: No, because no man was involved in her genesis. Simply by her *existence*, she's a threat to the assumption of male necessity.*

But of course, I did not take this theory very seriously!

People the joke is on: ME.

*English major. I am paraphrasing, but I got the impression she'd just finished an essay on the topic.

I want to send Brian Azzarello a copy of Joanna Russ' "Whileaway" as a giant FUCK YOU.

I really wish he was on Twitter.

Gah, this is so damn frustrating. I'm new to DC (like, really new) and the first issue of the rebooted Wonder Woman was the first issue involving her character I'd read.

And I liked it, I really liked it. I liked the horror vibe, that it wasn't cheesecake -- she was badass and the art was gorgeous and I liked it.

But even that's not safe. I, just... what the hell, DC.
