The part that struck out at me is the reference to the "iteration of a large-breasted white woman of impossible proportions."
Cue a petition from large-breasted, athletic white women complaining that they've been marginalised by the decision!

Well, this is just awful. I mean, it's not like there are real people out there doing things for feminists that doesn't involve jumping around half naked in front of unconvincing blue screen.

If they wanted to reject Wonder Woman for being a fictional character, that would've been perfectly fine. The bizarre thing here is that their reason for rejecting her was reportedly because of her figure, which is kind of silly.

This is why, as a woman, I absolutely despised the intersectional feminist movement. All I've ever seen them do is bitch and moan about any woman that is too white, too thin, too straight, too cis, etc. They are a complete embarrassment to feminists that have actually accomplished things in the past while they're too busy finding things "problematic" about pop culture as if that's going to actually make things better for the women they claim to be standing up for.

I agree with you on some of your main points. It's apparent in a lot of cases that some of them are hurting their own cause which is due in part to the fact that there are different types of feminismcultural, radical, liberal and socialist. The problem is each one of these groups want different things which has caused the term "feminism" to be associated with something bad and is therefore frowned upon.
Remember you don't have to be a woman to be a feminist, it's a concept. A good example is JSM. Read his,
The Subjection of Women
. Good read.
