Line 16: This attitude isn't as prevalent as it once was, but it's still rather pervasive. Since [[Most Writers Are Male]], they're going to go for the greatest audience available (or at least, what they ''think'' is the greatest audience) and the stigma is still entrenched not only in entertainment, but in [[Real Life]] as well. Compare [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]], [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?]], [[~~Useful Notes/The Bechdel Test\|~~The Bechdel Test]], [[Double Standard]], [[The Smurfette Principle]], [[White Male Lead]], [[Race Lift]], [[Animation Age Ghetto]], [[Minority Show Ghetto]], [[Lifetime Movie of the Week]]. See also [[Real Men Wear Pink]]. Line 30: === [[Comic Books]] === * [[Wonder Woman]] has had this problem. She's supposed to be one of DC's Big Three superheroes next to [[Batman]] and [[Superman]], yet she didn't get a Live Action Film until 2017 (after infamously being in [[Development Hell]] for years.) She hasn't had an animated series yet. ([[Batman: The Animated Series\|Batman]] [[The Batman\|has]] [[Batman: The Brave ~~And~~and ~~The~~the Bold\|had]] plenty in recent years, and [[Superman: The Animated Series\|Superman got his own show, too.]]) The last time she'd been out of the comics solo (besides the [[Wonder Woman (animation)\|animated film]]) before 2017 was [[Wonder Woman (TV series)\|the '70s live action series]]. The closest she's gotten to another franchise was a failed pilot in 2011 that was rather poorly received outside the industry (though no reason has officially been given for why they dropped it). And even within the comics, she's never been on the same level of sales as Batman and Superman. ** The sad irony here is that Wonder Woman ''was'' created for girls, but for the specific purpose of ''having a female action hero who was equal to her male counterparts''. But, apparently, being a literal Amazon still doesn't make you as "manly" as the most [[Badass Normal]] male hero.
