Wonder “Woman” & Bat”woman”: Most Chick Superheroes are Masculine in Comics
By
Many are up in arms that a new, “retooled” Lesbian Batwoman will soon be on the pages of comic books. If you think this is the first lesbian your daughters and sons will be stung with in comic books, you haven’t been paying attention.
Most comic book heroines are VERY masculine, especially those drawn by DC Comics, which also publishes Batwoman comics. They are basically men with long hair . . . on a ton of steroids. They may not be openly lesbian as Batwoman will be. But they are definitely butch and don’t look a thing like women. No femininity involved with these she-male monstrosities. Is that what you want your kids learning that a woman should be like? And is blurring the genders such a great thing? Hardly.
Take Wonder Woman, one of our fave superheroes (when she was actually a woman). Look at the photos we’ve posted from Wonder Woman over the decades and Wonder Woman, now. She used to be a woman. Now he/she/it is a . . . ?
Which one would you rather see your daughter emulate, your son date?

Like snap-shots through time, those images are quite revealing. An underlying message to young girls seems to be that “you are powerful”, “you are invincible”, “you don’t need a man”.
It’s kind of sad really that there are actually grown women who also believe that child’s fantasy. They believe that this facade called civilization, built by men, just somehow appeared by magic and that it will last forever. You know the ones, the “we are all equal” crowd. They don’t understand the world’s current problems because they don’t understand the nature of man or woman.
They don’t understand that her strength is actually made perfect in her weakness. That what normal men find so desirable about her is her femininity. That a decent man has an innate desire, a hard-wired instinct, to protect and care for her. On second thought, maybe they do know all of that, which makes it even more disgusting.
My personal belief is that God’s greatest gift to man was woman. He is nothing without her. There would be no Bach, Newton, Einstein, etc. etc., without her. And, I don’t want to drop any names here (Stern), but she deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
I would guess that this Lesbian Batwoman trend will only increase as we spiral toward the end of days.
