I think the story that struck me the most was, “Wonder Woman Needs Sex?”
I commend Grant Morrison in researching feminist theory. I think it is extremely difficult for a man to write anything from a female perspective without research. I know this concept has been mentioned before in previous Newscasts.
“Wonder Woman is expected to stand for women without any element of sexuality, and that seems wrong.” Some sexuality is fine but it is a fine line between some and too much. And that is where Mr. Morrison will have to be careful.
