Wonder Woman

For the question for writing this week: 
I would like to design a female character that is okay with being pretty, she's smart, she doesn't put up with the 'not like other girls' bullshit (it's a tired rhetoric, very embarrassing to read.) She's allowed to display emotion, without being put down for expression emotion, for her to be able to have friends that are men without her immediately being shackled to them as a 'love' interest. I'd like her to be able to love another woman, without being reduced to just fetish material, or the fact that she loves another woman be seen as wildly inappropriate or only ever sexual.

This week when we read the book talking about Wonder Woman and her history, I was actually very surprised to find out so many things connected to her creation, as well as her 'lore' in the comic series.

I had no idea that wonder woman was even remotely connected to the creation of the lie detector, or that murders and other scandals were connected to her history and the people who created her. I will admit, reading the book was somewhat hard for me, because the format of it was very hard for me to follow.
Stuff and chapters felt very fractured to me, making it hard to connect the chapters together as I was reading. It was a good book, but was hard for me to follow and read.

The film that we watched in class was pretty good, but I'm pretty, personally, tired of people immediately attacking women who like to use makeup, and who immediately assume they are vapid and are only doing it to impress people.

Most of the content in the film I agree with, especially with the perspective of people being called bitchy because they are a woman in power. This attitude has gotten especially worse, with the rise of people immediately attacking a woman (or anybody that challenges the normal) when they point out something wrong, calling them 'triggered', annoying, 'sjw', etc.

The attitude is even worse towards women who don't fit the 'norm' either, including fat women, disabled women, women of color, trans women, are always put down and made fun of.
