Wonder Woman shows to us a female super hero who is strong, leading, and also vulnerable, but that seems to be the exception, as many females shown as being superior to all males.I agree, the gay agenda on TV has been most disturbing.
As far as feminist superheroes, there's a difference between submission and dominance.
the sad thing is that many seem to have been asleep while that was happening.They've always been doing this. Identity Politics is a weapon. Evangelicals are just now waking up to it.
You are so right on this post, as the Homosexual and now transgender crowd have pretty much been able to get culture to reflect their "alternative lifestyles" as being now the new normal.It is not just feminism but the homosexual movement as well. TV shows and movies are tripping over themselves trying to work degenerates into their plot lines as loving partners or parents, even while conservative types are portrayed negatively.
Given that public schools and Hollywood has done this for years now, it should be no surprise that Millenials are the way they are...the first fully brainwashed generation in American history.
No. not unless she gets shown as being so superior that all men are dullards by comparison.Is it necessarily feminist to have a heroine?

I agree with you basic point on this, but just saying that many were bent out of shape when DC had Superman shown in the Justice league movie to be her physical superior, they yelled was anti female for daring to show that.I'm not persuaded this is because of feminism per se but rather it is the nature of the superhero character.
I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Hollywood is pushing feminism and LGBTQ messages, but let's not say because a heroine superhero is stronger than men that it is feminist.
Would we say that if a movie portrayed a female protagonist that was smarter than men that it was feminist because she was smarter?
Yes, men generally are physically stronger than women, but last time I checked, comic book superheros are by design not supposed to be realistic.
What is the Critical Race Theory?Most Evangelicals and Reformed today are willing to speak out when it is on Queer Theory, but if you suggest that Critical Race Theory is part of the Cultural Marxist baggage, then the same guys will start to waffle.
What is the Critical Race Theory?
So that would be where many see America as being founded by white racists and slave owners then?Risk of oversimplifying, but it is the view that the problems in race, society, and law today are due to White Power Structures keeping women and minorities down.

The real question is regardless of the skin color, is the person obeying the Lord and applying the bible or notThat's only the start. The key point is that "whiteness" has been institutionalized and is being used to oppress everyone.
Return of the King, with Eowyn's "I am no man" bit. Both of these scenes don't scream "women are superior" or even "women are equal to men" to me
I sometimes feel like Christians get a hyper sensitivity to things like this.
I have a friend who seems to see allusions to homosexuality everywhere
I should have treated Wonder Woman on a different basis, as agree with you and others here that it pretty much showed her as being strong, powerful, skilled, and yet all female, without putting down men in general, but my criticism regarding those other issues still seem valid to me.I do agree that modern feminism, of women being superior to men is being pushed into our culture...I did, however, enjoy Wondering Woman (though I've yet to see Justice League, so they may have presented her character in a different way). To me, it showed her being a strong woman, and because she was a different race (not quite human), she was stronger in a sense, but the movie didn't, in my eyes, bash a "poor weak men, girls need to rise up and help" message. I guess I can see where people would think that of the film, but I personally didn't see it as man-hating.
Spoilers for Wondering Woman:
In the No Man's Land scene, to me it harkened back to the scene from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, with Eowyn's "I am no man" bit. Both of these scenes don't scream "women are superior" or even "women are equal to men" to me, but that different strengths help in different occasions.
Edit: My phone wanted to make Wonder Woman look like a philosophical film, apparently.
Think that a big problem is that there is such a big push to have a genderless culture going on now, as God defined roles for Men and Women seem to be getting discarded by many today.Yes! Part of the problem is that we often want to classify something as "all bad" or "all good." In part, feminism was a reaction to the notion that men are superior and of greater importance than women. In combating certain legitimate concerns, however, much of feminist thought takes what was bad about "masculine" or chauvinistic thought and applied this faulty doctrine to the movement. The result sometimes takes the expression of a greater divide than equality between the sexes.
Since I live with seven women (well, my wife and six daughters ), conversations along these lines are frequent. For example, I mentioned that men (as a whole) are stronger than women. My oldest daughter heard that and thought I was saying that men were better because they were stronger. I had to explain that we need to be able to acknowledge the differences without the bias that the qualities of one sex are superior to the other.
I can't help but think that not making distinctions or suppressing the differences between men and women has, in part, led our society to the current idea that gender is subjective. We should celebrate and highly esteem our differences because it is the combination of both different sexes, specifically in marriage, that makes humanity complete.
