When 
were in early July last year in San Diego had posters all over the city announcing the Comicon , one of the most popular comics conventions in the world with over 125,000 visitors daily. Traditionally the world of comics has been, so to speak, enough testosterone. The protagonists are supermales endowed with extraordinary powers, could not be more muscular and sausages in tights that would cause a stir in a gay parade.
This brought me to head one of the most atypical of this world, Wonder Woman, given birth by a no less unusual author: William Moulton Marston or artist or writer and initially unrelated one with the world of comics. Moreover, was a renowned psychologist, who became famous by inventing a lie detector machine, forerunner of the current polygraph. He was married to a particular woman you look at it look. It was Elisabeth Holloway, also a psychologist and career woman (three degrees when women were not even students at the university), who not only inspired him and helped in their research on the polygraph, but continued to work after having children ( done nothing to back current 1928). But more surprising is that the couple was actually a trio, because they lived in a polyamorous relationship with a former student Olive Byrne William with whom he had two children who were adopted by marriage. So Marstons while pursuing their respective careers, Olive took care of 4 children of the trio. Fared so well that Elisabeth has continued to support Olive's children after the death of William in 1947 and remained together until Olive's death forty years later.
Gossip aside, Wonder Woman was born with a mission: to provide girls a strong female model. Marston as the girls did not want to be girls because it was condemned to represent a weak and secondary character.
"Not Even Want to Be Girls girls so long as feminine archetype Our Lacks force, strength, and power. Not Wanting to Be Girls, They Do not Want to Be tender, submissive, peace-loving Women Are as good. Women's strong Qualities Have Become Because Of Their Weakness despised. The Obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman "
not even want to be girls and girls as the feminine archetype lacks force, strength and power. Not wanting to be girls, do not want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as they are good women. The Women's strong qualities have been neglected because of their weakness. The obvious solution is to create a feminine character with all the Superman's strength and appeal of a good and beautiful woman.
Marston I was a convinced feminist, was inspired by the appearance and character of the two women to create Wonder Woman, an Amazon princess from an island inhabited exclusively by women, where peace and harmony. His mission: to help Americans win the war against the Nazis (things to be born in 1941). Immortal, beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Mercury and stronger than Hercules, he can not fly, but it has a plane invisible. It also has the "lasso of truth" with which immobilizes enemies and forces them to tell the truth, but sometimes backfired and had just tied up by the villain or villainess turn. Similarly if a man managed to raise their armbands was "handcuffed" and lost his super.
This is where things start to get interesting, because Marston was a fan of bondage and domination. In an interview in 1942 said that if a man was telling his preferences for comics, was able to interpret his subconscious desires: Superman and all the male superheroes satisfy the simple desire to be more powerful than anyone. Wonder Woman met elaborately disguised desire to be dominated by a woman who loved him.
And still went further to say that Wonder Woman was a psychological propaganda for the new kind of woman that he said should lead the world, and that submission to the "loving authority" was the key to overcoming the violent inclination of men. "Give them an attractive woman and stronger than them which they can submit and become anxious pride in their slaves," said Marston.
Because of this, the oldest comics Wonder Woman are full of stories of bondage as an active subject:
or liability:
spanking:
and niceties as rituals of initiation into fraternities, autonepiofilia or female prisons:
blisters course all this up but since the sales were good were followed up these issues. Marston then died and Wonder Woman gradually lost enthusiasm for bondage and some of its feminist message. Wonder Woman nevertheless remains today as a lesbian icon (during the era of Wonder Woman artist Phil Jimenez is openly lesbian) and feminist, climbed to No. 1 cover of the magazine Ms.
And this Beat is a world record because this has been ladies and gentlemen, the post that took me to post more. He began writing the 03/08/1910 and I just finished it, but what has the Perrez, especially when I think the topic will interest me and two cats more.
