I don’t read comic books. I am just terrible at visual processing and can’t really understand them.

But when I was a little kid, I was gaga over the 1970s TV version of Wonder Woman. I had no shame in carrying my Wonder Woman lunchbox to school after my grandparents bought me one.

I have no idea if watching Wonder Woman turned me into a little feminist. But it certainly didn’t hurt. This relates to something I was discussing with my girlfriend, about how the Left is just terrible at propaganda and PR while the Right excels at it.

Marston put it this way: “Frankly, Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world.”

Disdain for PR efforts means that the Left consistently loses where it should win. On the Left, there should be equivalents of the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute; there is not. This means the Left will lose battles over and over even when they have a large majority.

Interesting that one side of the political spectrum consistently loses battles where it should easily dominate while one side goes nearly insane and still prevails effortlessly.

Anyway, the Wonder Woman TV show while not that good demonstrates that we’ve actually regressed a bit from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. A show like that – with a woman superhero – would not get made today.

Role models matter. The Left needs to take the creation of Wonder Woman and use that as a lesson for how to proceed.
