Reading this article, I felt torn. As a child of the 1970's, I was a humongo fan of the television show, "Wonder Woman", starring Lynda Carter. (Yes, it's Lynda with a "y"...that's how much of a fan I am. Look it up if you don't believe me.) I'm torn because Wonder Woman will forever be burned into my brain as wearing those hotpants-that-are-frankly-not-hotpants-but-more-of-a-leotard. She shouldn't be wearing PANTS of all things. She should be flaunting her amazing Amazon ass in her hotpants/leotard and showing off her amazing body. Fuck, if I looked like Wonder Woman, I'd wear that fucking leotard in public. To Court. With the Golden Lasso attached to my hip. Say something. Please. So I can kick your ass. "Wonder Woman! (sung to the tune of the TV show theme...look it up dammit!)
I don't think it's sexist that Wonder Woman's costume is a leotard. She's hot. And she's a superhero, so bitch best be in the tip-top physical condition. Plus, lots of the male superheroes have codpieces or something that showcases their physique, usually in some sort of lyrca-spandex blend. You can't hid any secrets wearing a lyrca-spandex bodysuit, any more than you can hid in a leotard. Agreed?
Shit, Batman from the 1960s had a lyrca-spandex bodysuit and a pair of black panties over the bodysuit. Granted, Adam West wasn't exactly a "buff" superhero, but seriously. He couldn't hid anything in that grey bodysuit and black panties.
What's next? Isn't anything sacred anymore?

I always loved the way the front came up to a point...I wanted underwear like that. Not that I would look ANYWHERE near as hot as WW in mine.
Hmmm....I wonder if they make plus size underroos...;)
I used to have one pair of wonderwoman underpants as a kid. they rocked.
