I understand his logic, that hollywood only allows women to be strong when they are also gorgeous and nurturing, rather than grizzled and tough, but I do not think it applies to Wonder Woman. She is very beautiful in the movie, yes, but I do not see her as objectified. She is, like the male superheroes, attractive and still strong, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is true that we need more women like Sarah Connor in our action movies (God I loved Linda Hamilton in T2), but that does not mean that we should negate the other positive representations of strong female characters. After all, men get to have representations such as Henry Cavill as Superman (a very handsome man) and tough, grizzled characters such as Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns. Women are allowed to have a wide range of representation in their heroes, as well.
