Wonder woman UN ambassador for women, ffs!

[Pettywoman]

How is it empowering for women and girls to have to look up to a fictional character? We're supposed to aspire to fight bad guys now, while remaining looking young, sexy and beautiful and being a nice, safe librarian by day.

It's not April 1st is it?

An Ambassador for Women whose most prominent feature is her totally unnatural, nay impossible, body shape

It's fucking ridiculous and shows how women are seen by the UN/world.

How on earth can choosing a cartoon character to head up the campaign address any of the problems from casual sexism to violent sexual assaults?

Is it anything to do with a new WW film being released in six months (picture is a new updated WW poster from the film, yeah, that'll speak to women all over the world )

I'd love to know how they decided on it and who 'they' were.

And I can't get the bloody Wonder Woman theme tune out of my head now
