Line 127: * The creation of ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' was William Moulton Marston's attempt to address this in society: {{quote\|"Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."}} ~~== Film ==~~ * Casey's mother from the Disney film ''[[Ice Princess]]'' says, "I know ice skating requires a great deal of athleticism and skill, but I just can't get past the twinky little outfits." Never mind that male ice skaters wear outfits that are almost as "twinky" and in some cases even "twinkier". Note that the mother is saying this about a sport that is dangerous on the level of gymnastics (with metal blades!). This being a Disney film, by the end of the movie the mother realizes she was wrong. * ''[[Twister]]'' has the love triangle between Bill Harding's estranged wife, a down-to-earth country woman, and his stylish (for the 90s anyway) new fiance. Guess who handles the tornadoes better. == Literature ==
