That’s cute that you are outraged by Justice League, here is why your opinion isn’t worth a damn thing.
I was an Amazonian - I didn’t make the final cut of the movie -but that doesn’t change the relationship I have with the part and my experience as a female on set. I loved it, I felt empowered. I looked around and saw strong women who are proud of their bodies and their abilities. I saw women I look up to, who all wanted the perception of women to be one of capability. Yes, we wore costumes that showed our bodies, much like the guys did in 300 (which people seem to forget is a Zack Snyder film). At no time was my experience in Justice League sexual which brings me to the point:
Clothing, or lack thereof is NOT sexual. The “problem” is with your association of sex, not what I wear.
I’ve fought against this type of person my entire life, the ones that commented my shorts being too short, that made me go home from school because my figure was distracting to the male teachers and students. They didn’t realize that I bought the same kids clothes as everyone else, I just fit in them differently. They blamed their lack of self control on me, they made presumptions of my sexual activity because they lacked control over their own. You can call me whatever you want, you can assert that scantily clad females is regression, but perhaps your view of sexuality is what should be under the microscope, maybe calling it “feminism” doesn’t make it correct or even needed.
I love my body. I love being capable. I love the strength and esteem that I’ve developed through physical activity, I also love that I will pass it down to my daughter, she sees me hold my chin high in the face of judgmental trolls, so she can one day do the same, when she faces a society that treats her like a sexual object and will only be considered appropriate as long as her shorts are long enough.
I am grateful to @Zacksnyder and WB for representing female ability, and allowing us to be a part.
Keyboard warriors will search for relevance in this film, so let’s be clear, my Amazonian sisters and I hold our middle finger high to you and your opinion of our costumes.
