    Now they're protesting Wonder Woman
    When does it end



    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. What at first appeared as a fun, creative idea was soon met with a heavy bout of online criticism the UN itself hasn't had a women president in its 70-year history but the critics didn't solely come from anonymous comment boxes. 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.

                                        WONDER WOMAN VS PORKUM- SUPERPOSER

                                        Why did you Edit my post SBR?

                                        This is the saloon and all topics are fair game as it's the wild wild west here
                                        as anything goes! including e
                                        ssentially contested conceptual subject matter!

                                        If you wanna moderate the Saloon you need to label this forum correctly!

                                        How about
                                        Romper Room?

                                        Now either remove the child lock from my post or rename the Saloon to Romper Room.

                                        *RomperRoom*
                                        /ˈrämpər,ˈrôm-//ro͞om,ro͝om/
