The boys simply don't understand

If I were a 12-year-old girl, I would love Wonder Woman make-up.

I'm 21, and I'll buy it

I assume it's the fundamental disconnect between what Wonder Woman is supposed to represent versus what she's actually representing in this ad campaign. WW was always more concerned about fighting for her ideals than making herself attractive to men. Her whole message is about female empowerment.

Linking her to a cosmetics line, with its implicit goal of becoming more attractive to men, just seems wrong. I think that sporting/exercise equipment would be more in line with the whole Wonder Woman concept. This seems as misguided to me as a Punisher Tea Set.

Want!

But yeah. I wouldn't buy it myself, but I don't see the problem. Do we know that Wonder Woman doesn't wear make up?

A Punisher Tea Set I suspect would sell well, because it's so bizarre it's brilliant.

But back to the topic in hand -- girls like to wear make-up. It's that simple. And if girls like to wear make-up, there's no reason they shouldn't wear make-up that came from a container merchandised with a great character like Wonder Woman. Because sadly, right now there is no Wonder Woman TV show, no Wonder Woman movie, and no Wonder Woman cartoon. Wonder Woman probably has very little Q-rating with pre-teen girls. I'd like more girls to be interested in Wonder Woman. This make-up line will likely do little to aliviate that problem, but it's better than nothing.

She does - just like almost every other superheroine.

Wonder Woman is supposed to be the archetype for female empowerment, not about make up.

This to me sounds like an attempt at getting Wonder Woman back into pop culture to those that don't read the comics at all, and to compensate for no TV show, or movie and that the Justice League cartoon isn't on anymore or not watched by everyone.

So you think those two things can't go together?

Wonder Woman has always been a paradoxical icon. I think she's the uncommon example of a bridge between classical feminine values and more modern empowered values, and that has always made her a complex subject. Look at all the feminists lining up on opposite sides of the debate on her costume revamp. Some say it was long overdue because her appearance is an obviously insulting impractical image. Some say it is insulting to change a cultural icon that was a positive role model for many girls growing up for superficial reasons, and it also suggests that strong women have to "dress down" to be taken seriously.

I think what sometimes gets overlooked in debates over Wonder Woman's appearance is that she has, generally, projected a "I don't give a **** what you think I look like" attitude: she looks like that because she wants to look like that, and she would look like that even if she was the last person on Earth. And that resonates. Its not really a bad message to send. They say only Nixon could go to China, and I think only Wonder Woman can be portrayed as attractive as the artists and writers want and few people would question whether she was selling out to men, given the fact she's so often portrayed as thinking of men as pets who can talk.

Wonder Woman makeup is just another in a long line of difficult to classify circumstances for a bondage princess that is the equal of Superman. Personally, I have no problem with it, although I can also see the humor in it.
