Quite, quite unbelievable

I take that all-American values include prick-teasing, lesbianism, BDSM, and bigamy? (Moulton, the creator of Wonder Woman, convinced two women to live with him permanently. He was a psychologist, God forgive him. At any rate, CG Jung had done the same thing earlier - selfish practitioners of psychology will sooner or later find people they can fit to their designs.) Wonder Woman as a character stinks on ice and always has, and as for suggesting that this skintight fuck-me outfit is the next step to a burqa, these people need glasses, that's all.

Oh jeepers, of course. I completely spaced on the Greek mythology. *thoroughly embarrassed*
(eta: And managed to confuse Amazon with Amazonian. Yikes, sorry.)

Hm, but thank you for the canonical correction! As a kid of the 70s, I sort of imprinted on Lynda Carter, taking Wonder Woman as part of this American TV heroine pantheon including Charlie's Angels and The Bionic Woman, and was never cognizant of much beyond that.

Interesting, I appreciate the backstory now.

Totally understandable, and you're welcome. :)
