I like this kind of stuff... Very often, I find the inspiration behind a work to be more interesting than the work, itself.
I'm not completely sold on the notion that discussion of hemlines, or the domestic status quo, can be waved away as being 'unimportant', though...
Their relationship with each other may have been unusual - and perhaps even trailblazing, for its time - but that shouldn't cloud the fact that, because the creator is male, Wonder Woman still remains at least in part an outlet for MALE desires... Feminists championing a character doesn't automatically make the character herself feminist... and if one professes to believe in 'truth', then it is important that this idea is discussed and debated perhaps more robustly than it is examined by the film!
