She Does Not Find It Inherently Sexual

In 2016, the United Nations recognized Wonder Woman Honorary Ambassador to the United Nations. This news disappointed some people since they preferred a real woman over a fictional character. That wasn’t the only complaint people had about it. There was also the matter of her sexuality to consider. Carter was upset that people thought she was too sexual to be a role model. “All this stuff about costumes – ‘Oh, it’s exploitive and blah, blah, blah.’ Give me a break. You can’t say that the sock in the pants of Superman wasn’t,” she shared with Entertainment Weekly.

It Is The Female Body

She went on to say, “Get over it,” and then, “That’s a woman’s body. We are all that. We’ve always been that, but we’re also every other shape and color and size. It’s not our problem [what we look like], it’s yours. I am a woman. This is how I look. I’m smart, and I’m this and I’m that as well. I don’t understand the threat that women represent.”
