More Batwoman News…


Okay, so I have been edumacated.  I didn’t, until today, know that Batgirl and Batwoman were two different people.  I dinna know all dis, but I work with someone who do, so now I-a know all dis.  :-D

I didn’t mean to link to something anti-gay before, or at least conservative (most conservatives are anti-gay, I have found), but I am not big on censoring or re-writing things, so I’ll leave it.  One of the posts at the bottom I wanted to reply to, though, not that I know how to properly quote here:

“This depiction of Batwoman actually looks like a fantasized version of a young, muscular male wearing lipstick and big hair. It's truly a polymorphous transgender creature.”

…you say that as if muscular males wearing lipstick and big hair were a bad thing!  

:-D

Ok, so I won’t pick fights with the conservatives; I would *much* rather battle Evildoers!  Hmmm…wait…there’s some irony afoot here…

What was I saying?  Oh—yeah!

But I would like to point out TWO MORE reasons why *I* would have made a better Batwoman:  (1) I am exactly the right height (see pic on conservative website); (2) I could so totally have that hair with very little effort.  Well, provided I had a Bat-Assistant to help with the grooming—but my *point* is that I could get that hair with very little effort on the Bat-Assistant’s part, and that’s a good thing.  Oh—and—I am all about footwear that offers traction whilst battling Evildoers!  That’s THREE things!  Oh!  And I can *totally* do that look with lipstick and lip liner!  That’s FOUR things!!  

Clearly, I have been snubbed.  Clearly.  You comic book people are bastards.  I’m about to go all Sean Young on your asses.  

I found a *much* more friendly and acceptable site detailing the whole Batwoman thing here.  Except for the comments, that is.  Most of the comments are good, but there are some that are just showcasing the ignorance of the writer.  Not all lesbians have short hair and drive Mack trucks!  Geez; it’s a mode of self-expression, not an organised club with a uniform!  Dingbat.  What do you think they do—check with each other to see what the other is wearing?  “Gladys, I’m going with the t-shirt, khaki shorts, and bum bag today; how about you?”  Don’t make me kick your ass with my traction heels!  

Sincerely,
Batwoman Wanna-be.

Sigh.

...so how much lipstick does a man consume in *his* lifetime? And what if he's straight *and* wears lipstick--that would be like, *double* the consumption a woman experiences, wouldn't it? Ergo, in addition to desperately needing my phone number, aforementioned male is probably in greater need than I am of your 'research' there.

Well, no need to be sexist about it, hmm?

Damned prejudiced anti-lipstick spammer. I hate you on so many levels...

STOP MALIGNING LIPSTICK, YOU WEINER!

Christ--next thing you know, they're going to be saying that eyeliner causes cancer, or something. Hold me.
