Wonder Woman might be a bonafide demigoddess, but staff members of the United Nations aren't exactly falling under her superhero charm. As reported last week, Wonder Woman was appointed as an honorary UN ambassador for "the empowerment of women and girls," simultaneously honoring gender equality and women's empowerment while celebrating the 75th anniversary of the fictional character.

Numerous UN staff members have expressed sharp disapproval over the honor, with more than 600 of them signing an online petition to condemn the superhero's ambassador status. In the petition, the staffers urged Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to reconsider their choice, writing that Wonder Woman's "overtly sexualized image" is not "culturally encompassing or sensitive." As they explain: "The bottom line appears to be that the United Nations was unable to find a real life woman that would be able to champion the rights of all women on the issue of gender equality and the fight for their empowerment.
