Cartoon by Tom Toro for the New Yorker, 2015.
Yesterday I was feeling exhilarated after watching the new Wonder Woman movie (a superb, action-packed superhero blockbuster). However, reality quickly set in when I read about our President's tweets attacking the accomplished savvy female TV host, Mika Brzezinski.
Trump’s vulgarity is just another unfortunate reminder that all Americans have much work to do in combating the "villainous" misogynists in our midst. And while the Hollywood hutzpah of Wonder Woman is a refreshing change in a male-dominated genre, we all know it doesn’t take superpowers to combat sexism. It just takes a sense of equality, human decency, and respect.
