“Right up my alley.”
by Michael Horn
Hillary has compared herself to a lot of notable figures in the past, but never has she missed the mark more than when she compared herself to DC comic icon and box office champion Wonder Woman in a video message on Tuesday that aired at the Women in Film Los Angeles’ Crystal + Lucy Awards in Beverly Hills.
Her message first thanked Women in Film for its “commitment to lifting up women directors, producers, writers, composers and executives” before her brazen comparison to the most super of women, saying they were both on a quest to “save the world.”
“Now I haven’t seen Wonder Woman yet, but I’m going to, in part because it’s directed by the fabulous Patty Jenkins,” Clinton said in the video. “But something tells me that a movie about a strong, powerful woman fighting to save the world from a massive international disaster is right up my alley.”
“She is such a special person, again, on screen and off,” Clinton said of Banks. “You’re not only a creative force in front of the camera and behind it, you are a passionate advocate for women’s equality and opportunity; I can vouch for that.”
The irony in Hillary’s comparing herself to Wonder Woman is that hardcore feminists have largely rejected the film. Sure some celebrate Gal Gadot essentially stepping into the action heroine role, even though Sigourney Weaver did that 30 years ago with Aliens, but the hardcore feminists hate the character’s romantic relationship with Chris Pine and her love of babies, and they don’t like Gadot’s shaved armpits and support of Israel. They would prefer she were an unattractive lesbian who goes by the name Wonder Femme.
