\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in October, Wonder Woman<\/strong> was named as a new honorary ambassador for the United Nations<\/a>, to promote messages of empowerment of women and against gender violence.<\/p>\n

The decision did not sit well with the bigoted prudes, who immediately started an online petition<\/a> for Princess Diana to be removed from office because, apparently, judging women by their physique and appearance is not wrong when they<\/em> do it<\/strong>. And given the heroine is sexy and lightly dressed, these creatures ripped their garments for that First World Pseudoproblem called objectification. And their tantrum worked.<\/p>\n


\nAfter more than 45,000 signatures, the UN announced that Wonder Woman will be it’s honorary ambassador up until this Friday<\/a>, according to them because “fictional characters often last no longer than a few months”. What a coincidence!<\/p>\n

Since its inception, Wonder Woman has been a symbol of female empowerment<\/a>, but we must understand that if a woman (real or fictional) fights for equality and justice she has to be aesthetically hideous because, otherwise, her struggle is worthless; lest the girls be stupid and can’t understand the message because they will be too busy obsessed with their looks. Or something like that.<\/p>\n

The case should not be too surprising, though: it is not the first time that the UN assumes a sanctimonious positions<\/a>, nor the first postmodern siege<\/a><\/strong> to the world of comics. Surely, it will not be the last time either.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
