You can't do anything these days without getting the progressives all bent out of shape. You can't even make a movie about an Amazonian warrior princess who can hold her own with the likes of Superman and Batman without wounding the feelings of a modern feminist, because something about that warrior princess will still not be "progressive" enough.
For example: Wonder Woman has shaved her armpits, and THAT IS NOT OK:
Twitter exploded at the revelation, claiming women of the fictional matriarchy Themyscira would probably not shave their armpits. Some speculated that Gadots armpits were photoshopped to show a sheen, immaculate visage, unattainable by real women.Many woke, intersectional journalists were also angered by the lack of gross armpit hair.
Is this seriously still happening in 2017, cried Slate.
.....
Complaining that a woman chosen for this role partly due to her beauty has shaved her pits is possibly the most stupid thing humanly possible under those circumstances.
Then again, these progressives are the kind of people who have already said they will boycott the movie anyway -- because Gal Gadot supports Israel, and worse, she's an actual Israeli.
Since so many of them won't be going to see the movie, why do they care so much about her hygiene habits? Because they're not happy unless they're making everyone else in the world miserable.

One beautiful Roman morning decades ago, I was riding to work on a bus. A gorgeous young signorina got on, wearing a sundress. She stood right next to me. When the old 442 headed toward the Piazza del Populo, she reached up for the strap. Her armpit was about 6” from my face. It looked like a hamster’s nest.
Goddess, according to the original author.
Hey, at least she didn't jump out of her father's forehead like her sister.
Hmm. Don't see any armpit hair...
When feminists are outraged, I know that all is right with the world.
