Straw Feminist: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

** Played disturbingly straight in the ''[[New 52]]'' reboot by the other Amazons. Every few decades they go out to sea to find ships crewed by men. They couple with the men, then ''kill'' them. Female children conceived this way become the next generation of Amazons, while the male children are given to Hephaestus to act as his labor force in exchange for his weapons. Diana is appropriately horrified by this revelation and immediately tries to liberate the males—she only stops when she sees that Hephaestus truly loves them as his surrogate sons and they in turn love him as their surrogate father.

* A ''[[Superman]]'' comic had [[Psycho Electro|Livewire]] cause every computer, camera, microphone, and the like to malfunction whenever men tried to use them. Justified in that most of the media of Metropolis was portrayed as [[Stay in the Kitchen|misogynist douchebags,]] less so when completely innocent men were targeted as well.

* Darlene, the waitress at the interplanetary [[Local Hangout]] that [[Lobo]] frequents. It's well-known that Lobo is a chauvinist who often degrades and objectifies women, and Darlene is likely the only one who can get away with calling him out for it, doing so to him and anyone else who makes such comments. Still, she never has any problem with provocative outfits [https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Darlene_Spritzer_(New_Earth) (seriously, just look at her)] or using her looks to her advantage, often to help Lobo, ironically.
