I read that post of that blogger and just shook my head, wondering how the confusion started myself, but luckily, you came along and made an excellent rebuttal and helped to organize some of my own thoughts about the matter.

I'd honestly still prefer the original WW costume if most artists would give her good, flat, strong ass-kicking boots like the Dodsons have in their work on the current Wonder Woman run. I've asked women before about the high heels and most have said they're worn for short amounts of time and not for anything really physical.

I also hated the 'you're surprised?!' reaction to WW's portrayal in Playboy. I just found it so dumb myself while wondering aloud that of course no one is surprised, but a good many people are ticked off.

As for superheroes that wear nothing above and below the shorts... well, there's Goku, of DBZ, but he only loses his shirt in every fight he fights, and not his pants.

... and at the end of the first episode of Justice League Unlimited, we got to see Green Arrow wearing nothing but his mask and a towel... even though he normally doesn't run around in that.
