Beyond Feminist Hulk: The Tweets of Other Feminist Comics Characters

Earlier this week we featured Feminist Hulk, the Twitter feed where Hulk smashes the patriarchy, but feminist tweeting doesn't all have to be capital letters and bad grammar. We'd like to imagine that there are plenty of comic book characters out there with something to say about feminism -- here's our thoughts on the third wave of the DC and Marvel universes.

I think that telling women that the kitchen is a bad place to be devalues the contributions of generations of our foremothers. And I think that that fishnets remark is chauvinism dressed up as sex-positivism. feministgreenlantern

I think it's really convenient to 'value' women for working for generations without credit or pay. And what's wrong with fishnets on a hero? feministgreenarrow

Green Arrow

I think someone needs to read 'The Beauty Myth'. feministgreenlantern

I think someone needs to read 'Backlash'. And then shove it up his- feministgreenarrow

Anyone ever read 'The Dialectic of Sex'? I'm really glad the coin came up heads when I was browsing for that. feministtwoface
