You guys, I don't get it.

Could someone explain to me why it is so terrible for Wonder Woman to wear pants?

I'm not being a smartass for once. I genuinely just don't get it.

comic books, questions

I haven't been following a lot of the hullaballoo over it, but most reactions I've seen are that it isn't the type of outfit that has an "iconic" feel, which I somewhat agree with, save that most iconic images weren't iconic when they were introduced. (Also, frankly, do people really expect it to last long?)

I have to say, it's not really a look I associate with her (I prefer her in armor, personally) but I think it's a decent outfit. I'd be more likely to associate it with one of her supporting heroines (such as the one in my icon) than Diana herself, though.

Yeah, it's definitely not something I'd immediately go "yep, that's her", but I guess I just *don't see why it would cause so much wank.

People want to whine. Apparently making her put on some goddamn clothes is not a win for feminists. Even though, you know, they were previously bitching about how she can fight in a one-piece swimsuit without falling out of it.

In conclusion? I don't know, people just like to cause wank, I guess.

This entirely insensitive commentary brought to you by insomnia. /salute!

No matter what else is said that may be correct, this will always be correct as well.

Because pants are the devil.

I don't know though, I really like the new outfit.

I think I like my lists too much.

Obviously, I'm in the crusadomobile camp. Totally.

guess so. i mean wonder woman is kickass, but I always felt her outfit was so unflattering. Not really womanizing? Just. How is wearing bootie shorts helpful kind of way.

The argument I really don't get is that, now that she's in pants, she can't be a powerful female icon. So she needs bootie shorts to do that? whatever, man.
