Wonder Woman, the UN, and Bad Ideas That Sounded Good At The Time

The United Nations has announced an end to the "oh, now it's temporary" appointment of Wonder Woman as "UN Ambassador for Gender Equality".

And, yeah, that's probably a good idea, for the variety of reasons given (she's a traditionally white woman, traditionally wearing an American flag, traditionally not very realistically shaped, and she's not real and can't go to foreign countries and give speeches or speak out about specific issues as they come up, even if her large media conglomerate owners would allow her to).

There's one other problem not mentioned: over the last several years, Wonder Woman become very stabby, which is probably not the sort of mascot, alive or fictional, you want representing the United Nations. It's one thing if this were the classic "Wonder Woman, ambassador for peace to Man's World, to show the way of love and understanding and, if that fails, some minimal amount of fisticuffs." It's another to have the current Goddess of War whose opening gesture to any problem is to launch herself bodily, sword and shield at the ready, toward a foe.

As tempting as gender inequality sometimes is to that sort of response.
