"Wonder Woman" opened June 2 and made $710 million at the box office. It was highly anticipated and with a 92% Rotten Tomatoes rating and it did not disappoint. I saw the film on the 4th of July and one of the big questions I had after seeing it was: Is this movie representing feminist ideals? Luckily for you, I've thought about it.

First off, I feel like it would be a good idea to define feminism.To me, feminism is purely supporting equality of the sexes. This has historically meant campaigning for women's rights, but the movement certainly isn't trying to make others subordinate to women.

So, is "Wonder Woman" feminist? This, it turns out, is almost impossible to answer. Wonder Woman has long been seen as a feminist icon, so it's certainly an important question to see if the new movie is carrying on the tradition. On the surface, it would appear that the film is, but like other ideologies, feminism is multi-faceted. There are different ways in which a film could display equality/feminism. The movie could either further feminist theories or simply not objectify women.

I am not convinced "Wonder Woman" does anything for feminist theories. There are so many details of the movie that just serve to weaken anything that could've been there otherwise. For instance, The Amazons in the movie are all very thin and mostly white. That simply wouldn't stand up to scrutiny as an example of feminist theory, because it is in a way objectification. It doesn't portray all women and doesn't address that women don't need to fit into a certain category to be beautiful.

The idea that Diana (Wonder Woman) just inherently accepts women's inferior roles in society, never asking why women weren't soldiers or politicians, also just doesn't pan out when it comes to feminist theories. So I'm sorry, Wonder Woman die-hards, but in that way, the movie wouldn't be considered feminist.

But don't despair! "Wonder Woman" is still reasonably feminist without getting horribly into the theory. Feminists can enjoy the movie and sit comfortably in the theater, without wanted to burn the superhero franchise to the ground. Diana isn't unreasonably sexualized, and she makes her own way just as any man, mostly.

And for this, I thank the creators. Thank You! Finally a movie I could show my nonexistent children. Which leads to my last point: Should kids look to this movie for inspiration?

Yes! Absolutely they should, at least as much as they look to male superhero movies. Young girls should be allowed to embrace Wonder Woman as fervently as young boys embrace Captain America. What's the difference after all?

But, this movie is not just for women.

Young boys and girls, men and women, should all love Wonder Woman. It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be to make a difference. If you haven't seen "Wonder Woman" yet, I would encourage you to give it a go. It's a little cheesy, as all action movies can be, but it has a deeply positive message in the midst of it all.
