Kind of curious where the petition is, because I'd like to read it.
Both of the articles I've read on this matter don't seem to link to it. update: Is this it? http://www.thepetitionsite.com/741/2...men-and-girls/ Because...they're not exactly wrong. Pardon me, this is where I go and get a tub of popcorn to much on as every fanboy from coast to coast emerges from the basement to gnash teeth and rend garments...all the while claiming it's the other people who are triggered. |

Seems to be articles are running with the "big breasted white woman" thing and not the other parts of it, which actually do make a modicum of sense: "The message the United Nations is sending to the world with this appointment is extremely disappointing. The bottom line appears to be that the United Nations was unable to find a real life woman that would be able to champion the rights of ALL women on the issue of gender equality and the fight for their empowerment. The United Nations has decided that Wonder Woman is the role model that women and girls all round the world should look up to." But no. Still dumb. |

LOL, reading something like basically says, "Wonder Woman is attractive and has large breasts, therefore she is demeaning to women!" |
Quote:
So then... what real-life woman WOULD we appoint instead? |
Headcanon: Wondy was denied the position of UN Ambassador because she refused to sign the Sokovia Accords.

Hmmm....that's a good question. Oh hey, I bet until we find one a straight white dude will work. You know, just in the interim. |
Malala Yousafzai.
THAT'S who should be named. God bless that girl. |
She's already been shot once.
Do you really think it's fair to put her in the cross-hairs again? |

I really shouldn't be surprised the UN couldn't do better. |
First woman to spring to my mind is Amal Alamuddin.
Though I have really enjoyed what Emma Watson has been doing. |
Quote:
I had no idea Amal had such a damned impressive list of credentials and accomplishments. Holy S. |
At one hand, reading the actual petition. Yeah it's kinda stupid not electing an actual real person.
But, it's also a honorary title, it's just for fun elevating a Comic character to a big campaign's mascot... but there's no actual named women behind said year-long campaign? Slap some Greg Land WW pin-up and call it a day? |

One of my favorite write-ups on her marriage came from here: http://www.thebusinesswomanmedia.com...marries-actor/ Quote:

We live in a world where a fictional character can get promoted and demoted from a real life position because of people getting offended. Let that sink in.

You sound triggered.
Do you need a hug? |
Quote:
The only thing that triggers me is your refusal to quote my posts under any circumstance. |
You've got a really low threshold for what defines "worked up."
People logged onto a website and added their name to a petition. It's way less investment than say, coming here to whine about it. |
