Straw Feminist: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

'''Old Amazon''': [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|They leave the toilet seat up!]]

'''Amazons''': Kill the men! Kill the men!

'''Wonder Woman''' ''([[Thought Caption]])'': Urgh. Kill the scriptwriter. }}

'''Wonder Woman''' ''([[Thought Caption]])'': Urgh. [[Who Writes This Crap?| Kill the scriptwriter]]. }}

** ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' portrayed Wonder Woman this way for a parody of ''[[The Real World]]'', where the raging feminist with a chip on her shoulder is practically a stock character. At one point, while comforting Catwoman, she remarks [[Les Yay|"Who needs men anyway?"]], and the sketch ends with her [[Berserk Button|jumping up, shouting "THAT'S IT!" and beating the stuffing out of one of the guys]] because [[Disproportionate Retribution|he coughed (politely) during dinner]].

** 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.
